Shipwreck Lodge

Skeleton Coast, Namibia - Classic 4

Uniquely designed around the relics of shipwrecks that dot Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, there’s nowhere on the continent quite like Shipwreck Lodge. In fact, there’s nowhere on earth quite like the Skeleton Coast. It’s a raw, rugged and impossibly remote slice of African wilderness, where towering dunes and wind-swept plains roll as far as the eye can see, buffeted by the icy Atlantic seas.

But there’s much more to the area than simple isolation. Stay at Shipwreck Lodge and track desertdwelling elephant and elusive desert lion. Discover the enchanting desert flora (succulents and lichens) then sit atop the dunes as the sun sinks below the horizon. Spend the day beachcombing for whale bones and debris from centuries of shipwrecks or marvel at the geologically-remarkable Clay Castles.

Accommodation

10 cabins (8 twins and 2 family tents) are en-suite and solar powered all with views of the wild Atlantic Ocean. To keep guests warm on the cold coastal nights each tent has a wood burning stove.

Activities

• Game drives within the northern Skeleton Coast National Park.
• Sundowner drives to the dunes fields.
• 4×4 excursions to the Clay Castles, the Hoanib River Delta and along the coast.
• Hoarusib river drive to track desert adapted elephant.
