Hoanib Skeleton Coast, Namibia

This remote camp rests in the ancient Namib Desert, where the sea dried and created immense dunes and rocky mountains over the centuries. The Hoanib Skeleton Coast features eight luxury solar-powered tents with contemporary designs. Each tent has a small solar geyser for hot water, natural light lighting, a reverse osmosis filtration system, and other strict in-house environmental standards.

Hoanib Skeleton Coast's primary purpose is to research and conserve the brown hyena and desert lion. It belongs to a joint venture partnership with neighbouring communities, so the region can still benefit from ecotourism. The property includes the suites, a refreshing pool, and common areas overlooking the rugged valley, sloping down into the dry Hoanib River. Day and night drives, as well as guided walks, allow you to witness the rich diversity of desert-adapted wildlife Namibia has to offer. Book Here
