Information
The Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp nestles in a valley at the confluence of two tributaries of the Hoanib River. It straddles the line between the Palmwag area and the Skeleton Coast National Park, so it is it an ideal base for remote and adventurous desert exploration.
In a remote area of the Kaokoveld, with gravel-strewn plains and dry riverbeds that draw fascinating wildlife, lies Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp. Game drives explore this isolated area, moving along the riverbed’s narrow ribbon of vegetation, where a surprising wealth of desert-adapted animals can be found. Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp is a centre for research and conservation of the desert-adapted predators of this harsh region.
The Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp is an extremely remote and intimate camp ensuring that your stay is tailored exactly to your desires and the perfect desert escape for the budding explorer.
