Dunes and ocean from the air, Skeleton Coast, Namibia

Skeleton Coast and Kunene

The Skeleton Coast was once feared for its mist and moving sandbanks and is the most northerly region of Namibia’s vast stretching coastline.

The Skeleton Coast is considered to be one of the world’s most beautiful places, with its wide belt of coastal sand dunes to the beautiful waters of the Kunene River. The region offers some of the most dramatic scenery in Namibia and makes it a perfect place for the exploratory traveller seeking adventure.

Skeleton Coast Flying Safari

One of the best ways of visiting the most inaccessible and rugged area in Namibia is by flying safari. The Schoeman family, who have all been raised on the Skeleton Coast, act as both pilots and extremely knowledgeable guides for these unique safaris.

Flying low over the amazing Namibian countryside and landing where possible on open ground to view the most spectacular landscape, dunes, shipwrecks, mines and wildlife the region has to offer.

Illona Cross

Before joining Steppes Travel over 25 years ago, I spent a decade working as a ranger, guide and lodge manager across Southern and East Africa. It’s also a deeply personal place for me: I got married in Africa, honeymooned in Africa and still return every year with my family – proof that my love for the continent runs far deeper than just professional experience.

Chris is the Conde Nast Traveller chosen Specialist for Madagascar, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.

Almost three decades ago, I set off for a three-month trip to Africa – and ended up staying for two years. Since then, I’ve led groups through Rwanda, Uganda and Malawi, and have been named a Specialist for Madagascar, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda by Condé Nast Traveller. This depth of knowledge and on-the-ground experience is something I bring to each tailor made itinerary I create.
