Das Skeleton Coast Camp

The exclusive Skeleton Coast Camp is situated in a private concession in the northern parts of the awe-inspiring Skeleton Coast National Park.

For decades, tourists were barred access to the stunning park; conservation policies were strictly enforced. In the year 2000, however, Wilderness Safaris successfully procured a concession for a small part of the park and now offers excellent four to five day programmes.

A visit to the Skeleton Coast Camp, the only lodge and licensed tour operator in the park, thus presents a unique occasion, certainly Namibia’s, if not the world’s, most exclusive desert experience.

Set amidst the sand dunes, the camp offers luxurious accommodation for a maximum of twelve guests. The tent camp was constructed atop wooden platforms on an island rising out of the mostly dry Khumib River.

The lodge’s facilities include a spacious lobby, a tastefully furnished library, well-stocked bar and a restaurant commanding a breathtakingly beautiful view of the surroundings desert landscape. On a fine day, meals are generally served open-air beneath the large Leadwood Trees.
