Today we leave the Skelton Coast behind and venture deep into the north-western corner of Namibia to visit Kaokoland, one of the wildest, most remote, and wonderfully unique areas of Namibia. It’s a land characterized by rolling dunes, rocky mountains, and desert plains, all intersected by ancient, dry riverbeds, which are the area's roads.

Located in Namibia’s remote northwestern Kaokoveld region, the Hoanib Valley is a stark yet stunning landscape of dry riverbeds, rocky mountains, and vast desert plains. It forms part of the Skeleton Coast ecosystem and is home to rare desert-adapted wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, and oryx. The Hoanib River, which flows only seasonally, sustains life in this arid environment and attracts exceptional birdlife. Its isolation and raw beauty make it one of Africa’s most exclusive and untouched wilderness areas.
A remote and hauntingly beautiful park covering the northern Atlantic coast of Namibia (from the Ugab River up to the Kunene). The Skeleton Coast is famed for its foggy desert shoreline littered with historic shipwrecks and whale bones, towering dunes and unique geological formations (like the “clay castles”), as well as colonies of Cape fur seals and other wildlife adapted to this harsh, windswept environment.
