Skeleton Coast Camp, Nambia

Contact a specialist about Skeleton Coast Camp, Nambia

Skeleton Coast Camp is situated in a private concession area and has one of the most spectacular settings on the continent and calls to those seeking a truly remote wilderness experience. With its stark shoreline strewn with bleached whalebones and other skeletal remains, the Skeleton Coast is well named. It is wild and desolate, a place of stark, harsh beauty that yet sustains unusual life, from enormous colonies of Cape fur seals to the ancient welwitschia plant.
