Skeleton Coast Camp is situated in the heart of a private reserve, set in the midst of the 16400 sq km Skeleton Coast National Park. This luxury tented camp is built on an island in the dry Khumib riverbed, about 20km inland from the coastline. The diverse landscape with it’s sand dunes, vast plains, canyons, saltpans, seal colonies and shipwrecks is some of the most spectacular scenery in Southern Africa. This safari is unlike any other , the area is so vast and there is so much to see and experience that we abandon our traditional early morning and afternoon activities. We leave camp after breakfast and spend the full day exploring. The rugged terrain will be enjoyed by those who are looking for a true wilderness experience.
It is highly recommended for a 3 night stay to enjoy the private reserve as well as acting as a base for exploring Skeleton Coast National Park.
