Day 2

Today your adventure starts with an early wake up and breakfast before heading off to the airport where you will meet your pilot and guide. The Schoeman brothers grew up exploring the Skeleton Coast with their father who was one of the pioneers of eco tourism along the Skeleton Coast and was instrumental in getting the area proclaimed a national park back in the 70s. Today one the brothers will fly and guide you along the coast, which is scattered with whale bones and rusting ship wrecks, to their secrets spots of interest. The day starts with a morning flight south to the Sossusvlei dunes which tower over 300 meters above your head. You have the opportunity to climb up some of the highest sand dunes in the world and look out over the Namib Desert. After exerting some energy you continue north along the coast stopping in Swakopmund to refuel before continuing. Lunch is eaten on a deserted stretch of beach just north of the Cape Cross Seal Colony. The trip continues inland over the moon landscape of black ridges starkly contrasted against the white desert floor.

Overnight: Kuidas Camp – is a private camp set in the Huab River Valley. Each of the large dome tents is surrounded by reed walls and a thatch roof. There is a bucket shower and a chemical toilet at the rear of the tent and 2 flush loos close to the communal area (B/L/D)

Day 3

This morning after breakfast you head out in Land Drovers to explore the red lava and yellow sand stone of the Huab River and enjoy the wildlife and interesting plants that survive here. You have lunch in camp before flying back along the coast to Terrace Bay in the Skeleton Coast national Park visiting some of the ship wrecks along the way. After landing on the beach you access the roaring dunes by Land Drover before exploring the colourful pebbled beach with bleached whale bones scattered around. After this land exploration you head back to the plane and continue north to your next camp in Purros.

Overnight: Purros Camp – is of a similar setup at the previous camp with large dome tents, twin beds, a bucket shower and chemical toilet. There is a communal eating area and 2 flush loos for guest use (B/L/D)

You may even be lucky enough to see the desert adapted elephants that live in this area. From here you fly further north to the Kunen River which forms the border with Angola. Before reaching your final destination you explore the many ship wrecks that lie scattered along the coast. Lunch is eaten at one of the favourite sites in the middle of the dunes and mountains of northern Namibia.
