Skeleton Coast Fly-In Safari - Image 1

Tour Overview

The Skeleton Coast is one of the last truly wild places on Earth, a 500-kilometre stretch of fog-shrouded coastline littered with shipwrecks, whale bones, and Cape fur seal colonies. This fly-in safari is the only way to access the remote northern Skeleton Coast, which is restricted to a handful of visitors per year. Fly over massive clay castles sculpted by the wind, land on remote airstrips in the Kunene region, track desert-adapted elephants and lions, and explore the roaring dune fields. The contrast of crashing Atlantic waves, massive dunes, and stark desert creates one of Africa's most photogenic landscapes.
