Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp
Skeleton Coast National Park, Namibia
Platinum price level
Mango Opinion
This is an incredible property in a remote area of Namibia. We always recommend people spend 3 nights to enable you time to explore the desert adapted wildlife of the special Hoanib Valley and spend a memorable full day excursion driving through some beautiful country, changing habitats and gorgeous landscapes to reach the skeleton coast. You will love the scenic flight over the dunes to sweep you back to camp. If you can only visit one place in Namibia, this is it!
Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp is scenically located in a broad valley at the confluence of two tributaries of the Hoanib River in the northern part of the private Palmwag Concession. Its location thus straddles the Palmwag area and the iconic Skeleton Coast National Park, in one of the most remote areas of the Kaokoveld. Exclusivity is taken a step further as camp is only accessible by light aircraft.
The intimate camp consists of only seven twin-bedded tents and one family unit, each comprising stylish en-suite bedrooms with shaded outdoors decks. Flanked to the east and west by rugged hills, the camp looks out over stunning, starkly beautiful scenery and offers guests all the luxuries and amenities for an unforgettable stay.
The mountains and canyons of the Hoanib River provide a last refuge for some of the continent's most unique wildlife; this is the home of the legendary desert-adapted elephant and the last free-roaming black rhino population on Earth. While here, access the wildlife rich riverbed (elephant, giraffe, lion, oryx), the plains, river valleys and hillsides to the south (black rhino, oryx, mountain zebra, springbok) and the downstream reaches of the Hoanib River.
