Namibia's
Skeleton Coast is one of our planet's most beautiful places and
hosts one of our finest safaris. Over much of the past decade,
access to this private area within the National Park has been
restricted.
From April 2000, however, our 10~bedded, luxury tented
camp is open and we can now offer superb 4 or 5 day fly-in safaris
to this incredible area, with guaranteed departures every
Wednesday and Saturday. |
| This
is a safari that will rival anything in Africa for those who enjoy
the excitement of wild and remote places! Close
on 300,000 hectares (660,000 acres) of the National Park has been
set aside as an exclusive safari experience for those who want to
really get away! It is wild, desolate and uninhabited ~ and
stunningly beautiful.
The Benguela Current brings cool, plankton and
fish-rich waters all the way from Antarctica and moderates the
temperatures in the region. Mean temperatures year round
vary from a high of 28° C (82°F) to a low of 10°C (50°F). Summers are
incredibly mild, even though we are in the desert! The cool ocean air
meets the warm desert air and nearly every morning mists cover the
coastline, bringing life-sustaining moisture to the desert's fauna and
flora. |

Game Viewing / Activities:
| This
is not a pure game viewing safari. Freshwater springs permeate
through the barren sands to create rare oases in the desert that
sustain pockets of wildlife.
Springbok, Gemsbok (Oryx), the rare
desert Elephant, Cape Fur Seals, Brown Hyaena, Jackal, Ostrich and
occasionally even Cheetah eke out an existence in this rugged
terrain, alongside desert-adapted vegetation such as Welwitschia
and Lithops, the succulent "flowering stones". |

Our
routine here is quite different from that of our other safari
camps. There is an incredible amount to see and do. Breakfast is
enjoyed in camp and then we head out all day into the Park. We
take along a picnic lunch and only return at sunset. T
he days are
full, rewarding and enriching. This
area has everything…from soaring sand dunes that roar,
wonderful, vast, pastel-colored plains, towering canyons and
mountains, salt pans to seal colonies and shipwrecks.
Add to
that the game viewing! We are also able to visit authentic Himba
settlements, just outside the park, for an incredible cultural
experience |
