Strange and remote area, truly wild. Not much to see however unless you fly into the expensive wilderness camp.

A remote and special location.

I was fortunate to win this trip, my third visit to Namibia, in a wildlife photography competition. The Skeleton Coast is not easy to get to, and I was staying in one of the more remote camps near the border with Angola, but it is well worth the time spent in transit. The wildlife is not as abundant as some other safari locations but is nevertheless special, including crocodiles and Goliath herons on the Kunene river in a desert landscape that resembles something from another planet. Food, weather, and accommodation were all superb. It's an amazing location!

Remote Beauty

Once you enter the National Park, Skeleton Coast reveals a stunning beauty. You may not expect spectacular wildlife sights. We spotted only few animals – jackals, cormorants and a dead hyena. But if you stop and linger you experience the exceptional mixture of ocean, desert and history in form of shipwrecks and abandoned mining facilities. And in the northern part of the Park many plants like welwitchias colorize the desert dunes.

The beauty of the dunes and the Kunene River and the well adapted wildlife, as well as a superb camp at Serra Cafema

Isolation, and solitude, perfect for looking for wildlife.

Bogged boats, huge population of sea lions, a place unique in the world, amazing proximity between sea and dessert...

Absolute great experience. A lot of wildlife there, despite the dry area. Desert adapted lion and elephants are there. And lots of Flamingos and Seals at the coast. Like to drive in the dry river bed of Hoanib.

The Skeleton Coast Park is flat, stark, desolate, but has a fascination of its own.

Miles of mist covered coast with nothing to see. Terrible weather. Boring
