Situated in one of the most remote areas of Africa, the Hoanib Skeleton Camp is an intimate and luxurious camp that offers the chance to see desert adapted animals.
The camp is located in the heart of a private concession area, next to the Palmwag area and the Skeleton Coast National Park.
With just six tented rooms, there is absolute exclusivity about this camp and each of the tents are en-suite with their own outdoor shaded deck. The colours, textures, and patterns adorning these tents draw inspiration from the Hoanib experience – the vibrant ochre hues of the dunes, the captivating geometric designs of the Himba people, and the majestic giraffe that sparked this project.
Take a trip out down the coast to marvel at the Cape fur seal colony or take a flight over the Skeleton Coast, offering an entirely different perspective of the stunning Namibian landscape.
Location
In the heart of Hoanib Valley, Hoanib Valley Camp is a 8 hour drive from Windhoek or 7 hours from Swakopmund. Self-drive guests can park at Fort Sesfontein (48 km from camp) and will be met and driven to Hoanib Valley Camp. Fly-in guests will land at the camp’s airstrip before transferring to the camp, taking approximately two hours.
Accommodation & Facilities
In the heart of Hoanib Valley, six guest tents seamlessly meld with the rugged terrain, almost becoming one with the environment. Built on decks of wood and bamboo, wooden steps lead up to a veranda with views of the ancient mountains. Hoanib Valley Camp is 100% solar powered so there is no air conditioning, but there are large mesh windows, free-standing fans and a swimming pool to relax and cool off during the heat of the day.
Activities
The camp has its own private 4x4s and the private guides have incredible knowledge as they take you on a number of game drives during the day or at night, with the opportunity of seeing desert adapted elephants, giraffes, oryx and springbok.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all served in the camp and you may also have the chance to enjoy a picnic against the backdrop of the private reserve.
