We depart Windhoek heading towards Swakopmund. You can meet us in Swakopmund if you are in the area. Overnight Rapmund Lodge or similar. (Lunch and dinner) |
| |
Leaving Swakopmund early morning we head north towards the entrance of the Skeleton Coast National Park. We stop at the Uniab Delta where will take a 30 minute walk towards an unexpected waterfall. Many varieties of birds can be found in the reed – encircled waterholes. After lunch we continue north passing through the Hoanib river until we reach Terrace Bay, this will be our last fuel stop for the next week or so. Overnight Mowe Bay beach camp. (All meals) |
| |
After a warm breakfast we continue north. Many interesting stops will be made along the way, specially the engine and remains of the Ventura Bomber that crashed after a fail rescue attempt in 1942. Entering the Hoarusib river we might come across herds of Oryx and Springbok. This river is also famous for Black Rhino, Desert Adapted Elephants, Brown Hyenas and the very rare Desert Lions. After exploring the Hoarusib we continue towards Khumib River where we will overnight. (All meals) |

Leaving the beautiful Khumib Valley we continue north. Today’s drive will take us through the most colorful landscapes in the park. The area is extremely sensitive and we take well care of not leaving footprints behind. We stop at the Sarusa mine. The mine is no longer operational but one can still see many quarts and amethyst crystals scattered everywhere. Not far from here we stop at Sarusa spring, which is an important water point for Oryx, Springbok, Brown Hyena, Ostrich and at times even Lion. After stopping at Agate Mountain we set up camp for the night. (All Meals) |

Today is mostly beach driving. We pass Angra Fria; destined to become a harbor during the 1960’s they decided that the area was just too uninhabitable. Further north we reach the remains of the Dunedin Star and one of the shelters that the survivors stayed in. Not much of the wreckage is visible but listening to the rescue mission will make one understand why this is called the “Skeleton Coast”. We reach the Kunene mouth around lunch. The Kunene originates in the Angola Highlands and paths her way through desert and mountains where it forms a delta in the Atlantic Ocean. The river host plenty fresh water fish, Nile Crocodiles, Green Turtles and Soft Shell Turtles. After Exploring the mouth we head east in to the dune belt. We camp near the bank of the river in the dune belt. (All meals) |
| |
|
Today is our last day in the park. We continue east. The day is mostly spent maneuvering our way through spectacular desert scenery. There will be plenty of stops as the guides always have to stop to read the changing dunes and what lies behind them. Herds of Oryx are a common sight in the dunes as the make their way down to the river. We settle for the night close to Sierra Cafema Falls. (All Meals) |
| |
|
The morning starts with a scenic drive through the Hartmann Valley. As we continue west we stop at a OvaHimba village to learn the ways of their Nomadic existence. We continue south heading back in to the Khumib Valley where we will set up camp for the night. (All meals) |

Staying off the beaten track we head south to the Hoarusib River. Once again we enter the territory of the Desert Elephants, lions, cheetah, leopard and Hyena. Passing Hoarusib Canyon we reach the small town of Purros where we will overnight at the community campsite. (All Meals) |
