On this 4 day Skeleton Coast Fly-in Safari guests will get acquainted with the desolate beauty of the northern Skeleton Coast Park in Namibia. The Skeleton Coast Park is a coastal desert characterised by storm-swept plains, rocky outcrops, canyons, seal colonies and many other stark features. Life here is a constant fight for survival.

Some activities guests can look forward to are full day or half day nature drives or walks and excursions to the clay castles of the Hoarusib River, Rocky Point, the roaring dunes, Lichen fields, Seal colonies, Himba villages and a number of shipwrecks along the coast.
