Skeleton Coast

The Skeleton Coast is wild, desolate and practically uninhabited. It has everything from roaring sand dunes, windswept plains, towering canyons, salt pans, seal colonies and of course hundreds of shipwrecks from which the area derives its name. Life manages to survive in these harsh desert conditions due to the sea mists created by the cold Benguella current cooling the air. When this hits the hot desert air a cool mist envelops the coastline, providing a much needed source of water.

Up by the Kuenene River is the home of the Himba people, one of the last true nomadic tribes in Africa. Guests to this remote area have the opportunity to interact with these people in their own communities. The number of tourists allowed into the region is very restricted. Access is only really possible by plane.

It provides a safari unlike any other to some truly remote areas, there is a great feeling of freedom and solitude for those with a true spirit of adventure.
