Hoanib Skeleton Coast

Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp offers an exclusive safari experience in Namibia’s remote Kaokoveld. The camp features eight luxurious tented suites overlooking the Hoanib River valley, providing guests with opportunities to observe desert-adapted wildlife and explore the enigmatic Skeleton Coast.

Life in Camp

Nestled in Namibia’s ancient Kaokoveld, Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp is a secluded retreat designed to harmonize with its starkly beautiful surroundings. The camp comprises seven twin/double tents and one family unit, each offering en-suite facilities and private viewing decks that overlook the rugged landscape. The architecture reflects the natural environment, with flowing canvas roofs and neutral tones that blend seamlessly into the desert backdrop. Guests can embark on guided nature drives to encounter desert-adapted species such as elephants, lions, giraffes, and oryx. A highlight of the stay is the excursion to the Skeleton Coast, where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean, revealing shipwrecks, seal colonies, and dramatic coastal vistas. The camp also features a research center, offering insights into ongoing conservation projects focused on preserving this unique ecosystem.

Timing Your Trip

The optimal time to visit Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp is during Namibia’s dry season, from May to October. During these months, wildlife congregates around water sources, making sightings more frequent and predictable. The cooler temperatures also enhance the comfort of outdoor activities such as game drives and guided walks. Visiting during the dry season ensures a rewarding and comfortable safari experience in this remarkable environment.
