Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp

Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp stands in Namibia’s ancient Kaokoveld, in a remote private wilderness area not far from the Skeleton Coast. This is a landscape of dry riverbeds, rocky mountains, shifting dunes and surprising pockets of life, where the scale of the scenery is matched by the sense of isolation. For travellers drawn to Namibia’s more remote corners, the camp offers a striking base from which to explore.

The experience here is shaped by movement through this dramatic terrain. Nature drives reveal desert-adapted wildlife such as elephant, giraffe, oryx, lion and brown hyena, while excursions to the Skeleton Coast bring in another layer of adventure, with windswept beaches, seal colonies and the Atlantic pushing against the desert’s edge. Conservation is woven into the experience too, with opportunities to visit the camp’s research centre to better understand the link between neighbouring conservancies and wildlife protection. Stargazing, birdlife and stories shared by local staff bring extra depth to your time here. 

The camp’s tented suites look out over a broad desert valley and nearby waterhole, keeping wildlife and landscape firmly in view. Their open design and muted palette reflect the surroundings, while the overall feel is comfortable, pared-back and well suited to the setting. Solar power, generous space and a strong connection to the outdoors shape the stay.
