Set in a stunning valley in the private Palmwag Concession, Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp is the perfect desert escape for the avid explorer. One of the most remote and isolated places Namibia has to offer, the camp lies on the border of the jaw-dropping Skeleton Coast National Park: a land of endless sand and rocky outcrops. The ultimate excuse to become lost in a forgotten world, the camp is far removed from the reality of modern day, and can only be reached by light aircraft.
Small and exclusive, the camp offers only 8 tented units, 7 of which feature twin beds and one of which is a family tent. All accommodation includes outdoor decking areas, shaded from the strong Namibian sun and en-suite bathrooms. The views from camp are breathtaking, with stargazing at night an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience.

holiday to Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp
Very nice camp but I would suggest - where possible - a solar powered heating method of any kind (even a small, portable one to move inside the tent) for each room, as temperatures might really fall in winter and getting out of bed in the early mornings might be troublesome.
This was a truly remarkable location and an absolute highlight of the trip. The lodge is very nicely renovated and the rooms are well equipped, and very spacious, with lovely aspects of the watering hole. The standout features of this lodge were the staff who were incredibly helpful and couldn’t se…

The drive to the Skeleton Coast was a highlight of our whole trip. Joas was a real pleasure and a great tracke…
Our favourite place of the trip. Accommodation and team were all first class and our guide Vincent went above and beyond to help us learn more about the animals and the wonderful country of Namibia. The trip to the Skeleton Coast was a real delight and even though we didn’t get to fly back, the ext…
