Skeleton Coast Safaris

PDFPrintE-mail

As members of the Schoeman family who grew up here, we have the very secrets of the Skeleton Coast etched on our souls and we would like to share with you the uniqueness of this remote wilderness

Everything is planned to surprise and delight adventurous souls. We use our own aircraft as a safari vehicle to transport you from one place of special interest to another, flying at “see” level to give you a breathtaking view before we land and explore by Land Rover or on foot. We invite you to reflect on the beauty and solitude of the surrounding desert while relaxing in comfortable, fully equipped tented camps.

This is an experience you will always remember.....


During the course of a safari with us, you will experience fascinating bird’s-eye views of shipwreck remains along the coast, diverse and ever-changing geological formations and the refuges of desert-dwelling animals such as the endangered black rhino and desert-adapted elephant. As our guest, you are taken on excursions by Land Rover to be introduced to the scenic and ecological aspects of the environment with its wide diversity of flora and fauna.

A few of the highlights are:

A desolate coastline with adjoining roaring dunes
Ugab rock formations
Colourful red lava and yellow sandstone
      of the Huab environs
Ancient Bushman rock engravings
The living “fossil” tree, Welwitschia Mirabilis
Visit to a settlement of the nomadic Himba people
Panoramic vistas of the Hartmann Valley,
     which extends to the Kunene River on the
     Angolan border.


Accommodation consists of three fully equipped tented desert camps, which nestle into the natural environment. The first of these is in the lower reaches of the Huab River in the Erongo Region (Damaraland), the second under Camelthorn trees and Makalani palms in the Hoarusib Valley in the Kunene Region (Kaokoland), and the third on the north-western Namibian border overlooking the Kunene River.


This is undoubtedly the finest way to explore the northern sector of the Skeleton Coast. By flying one gets to see landscapes which would be impossible to appreciate from the ground – and when you want to look more closely at something on the ground you just land!!

News

Well, those who will be visiting Botswana's Okavango Delta in the next few months are in for a treat! Every year this magnificent wonderland gets inundated by flood waters originating from the highlands of Angola. The waters arrive at the top or "panhandle" of the Delta in about January and get to the "end" of the Delta in June or so.
