Namibia – Skeleton Ghosts

The Skeleton Coast, scattered with shipwrecks and whale bones, tells haunting tales of maritime misfortune. Further south lies Kolmanskop, an abandoned town in the Namib Desert’s ‘forbidden zone’. In the early 20th century, diamond fever drew hordes of prospectors and a thriving town emerged. Today, Kolmanskop is slowly disappearing into the desert. Drive out, discover forgotten ships and forgotten towns, losing yourself in its eerie beauty.

Shipwreck Stories

Scattered with whale bones and shipwrecks, Namibia’s wild and forbidding Skeleton Coast bears eerie testimony to the many maritime disasters that have occurred on its shores. Explore the wrecks and hear true stories of how the hot desert winds, combined with cold ocean currents, create extreme fog that has lured these stranded boats to their doom.

Seal Kayak and Beach Picnic

Spend a morning kayaking in the calm waters of Walvis Bay, home to a playful group of cape fur seals, before picnicking on the beach.

Namibia’s Big Blue

From desert to the depths, discover Namibia’s hidden marine treasures. Sail offshore on a catamaran to encounter dolphins, seals, turtles and whales (in season). Expert guides and pelagic birds, like the charming great white pelican will be your seafaring companions.

Dune Escapades

Climb giant sand dunes leaving a trail of footprints behind before dune boarding back down. Cross salt pans on specially designed fat bikes or quad bikes, or explore by 4×4 for a desert rollercoaster experience.

Mad Max Landscapes

For a real sense of exploration and discovery, travel at your own pace across the Mad Max landscapes of Namibia. At the wheel of a modern, well equipped 4×4, with little traffic and good roads, it offers a stress free driving experience and a taste of the ultimate seclusion, yet with a multitude of experiences at your fingertips.

Living Desert Cultures

Immerse your family in Namibia’s rich cultural tapestry, spending time with some of the country’s oldest communities – the Damara, Himba and San people. Embrace their daily routines, connecting through shared experiences and laughter. Gain insights into their hunter-gatherer and herder lifestyles and actively contribute to the preservation of their rich cultures.

The Giraffe who came to Tea

Take breakfast or afternoon tea at a charming farm guesthouse where resident free-roaming giraffes will join you, at their own pace, hoping for a snack or two.

On The Prowl

Track rehabilitated leopards and cheetahs across the undulating plains of Okonjima Nature Reserve. Delve into the conservation efforts of the AfriCat Foundation with dedicated guides who share their mission to protect Namibia’s large carnivores.

Big Five Viewing

Stay in a lodge with its own private waterhole and watch with your family as family groups from the natural world gather to drink. A haven for elephants, rhinos, zebras and lions, these essential water sources are busy throughout the day and night so there’s always something to see.
