Uniquely designed around the enigmatic shipwrecks that line Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, there’s nowhere on the continent quite like Shipwreck Lodge.
In fact, there’s nowhere on the continent 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 head out on scenic drives through the dunes to discover the enchanting desert flora and fauna that somehow manages to thrive in this barren land. Brown hyena, ostrich, oryx, jackals, flamingos, seals and if you're extremely lucky, desert-adapted lions.
Enjoy lunch on the beach, then sit atop the dunes as the sun sinks below the horizon. Spend the day beach-combing for whale bones and debris from centuries of shipwrecks, or marvel at the geologically remarkable Clay Castles along the Hoarusib River. Head out on quad bikes to glide around the huge dunes, or try your hand at sandboarding down them.
It's an adventure-lover's paradise!
Really, there’s nowhere like it on earth.
