At the heart of the project is the protection of human dignity and the preservation of wildlife, with the broader aim of protecting the area's precious natural and animal heritage. Wilderness Hoanib Camp works together with three conservation organisations, offering guests the unique opportunity to meet desert-adapted elephants, lions, hyenas and giraffes in their natural environment. While researchers study these animals in the field, local communities benefit economically from their protection, proving that conservation and development can go hand in hand.
Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp is located in a remote area of the Kaokoveld, with gravel-covered plains and dry river beds that attract large numbers of wildlife. Fully solar-powered, Hoanib Skeleton Coast is a joint venture with the nearby reserves of Anabeb, Torra and Sesfontein and a research camp for the study and conservation of animals that have adapted to the desert. The tented camp consists of eight large en-suite tents with bathrooms, a main area and swimming pool overlooking a wide, rugged valley that descends to the Hoanib River. Game drives explore this isolated area, travel along the riverbed’s narrow ribbon of vegetation, where a high concentration of desert-adapted wildlife can be encountered. During your stay you can reach the Skeleton Coast by car or by plane.
