Skeleton Coast Camp
The Skeleton Coast
Skeleton Coast Camp is located north of Möwe Bay, in one of the region's dry riverbed, wildlife havens.
Activities from this central point are centred around full day trips to the coast or inland, with a midday break for a picnic lunch. One can enjoy game drives, beach drives, exploration of shipwrecks, salt pans, towering canyons and the 'clay castles'.
Throughout the park are pockets of wildlife such as springbok, oryx, ostrich, desert-adapted elephant, brown hyena, jackal, and sometimes on the rare occasion cheetah and lion. Even more fascinating are the many endemic species of plants, reptiles and insects, and the multicoloured lichens that cover the large expanses of gravel plains.
The Skeleton Coast Camp is small and exclusive with six luxury tented rooms that all have en suite bathrooms providing flush loos, a shower and hot and cold running water.
The central area consists of an indoor lounge/dining room and bar, and an outdoor dining area under an ancient leadwood tree. This is one of our favourite dining spots, under endless star-filled skies that add to the humbling and inspirational experience of a Skeleton Coast safari.
