Close on 300,000 hectares (660,000 acres) of the National Park has been set aside as an exclusive safari experience for those who want to really get away! It is wild, desolate and uninhabited ~ and stunningly beautiful.The Benguela Current brings cool, plankton and fish~rich waters all the way from Antarctica and moderates the temperatures in the region. Mean temperatures year round vary from a high of 28° C (82°F) to a low of 10°C (50°F). Summers are incredibly mild, even though we are in the desert! The cool ocean air meets the warm desert air and nearly every morning mists cover the coastline, bringing life~sustaining moisture to the desert's fauna and flora. This is a safari that will rival anything in Africa for those who enjoy the excitement of wild and remote places. Giraffe, Springbok, Gemsbok (Oryx), the rare desert Elephant, Cape Fur Seals, Brown Hyena, Jackal, Cape Fox, Bat-eared fox, Honey Badger, Genet, Ostrich and occasionally even Cheetah eke out an existence in this rugged terrain, alongside desert~adapted vegetation such as Welwitschia and Lithops, the succulant "flowering stones".

Skeleton Coast Camp is a 10~bedded camp. We have five luxury tented rooms with the en suite bathroom providing flush toilets, a shower and hot and cold running water. We have an open~air dining room under an ancient leadwood tree, or indoors for those chilly days.

This is not a pure game viewing safari. Freshwater springs permeate through the barren sands to create rare oases in the desert that sustain pockets of wildlife. * Full day nature drives with walks * Birdwatching * Seal and shipwreck excursions * Fishing and coastal ecology * Visit to Himba village (for private groups and only if on the 5 day safari) * Night walks on dunes and plains
