Conjure up visions of mist shrouded windswept beaches bordered by wild seas strewn with bleached whalebones and rusted shipwrecks, rolling sand dunes, vast desert plains, fossil beds and unique rock formations. Now imagine traversing this wild and haunting landscape by plane and you have Skeleton Coast Safari's in Namibia.
Operated by the pioneering Schoemann Family, they have set out to redefine African safari's by using a plane as a safari vehicle and exploring the forbidding coastline of the skeleton coast. Highlights of the trip include desert coastlines with roaring dunes ; ancient rock drawings ; living fossil trees ; ugab rock formations ; red lava and yellow sandstone environs ; nomadic Himba tribes and panoramic vistas of the Hartmann Valley. Because of the unique landscape and remoteness of the area, these trips are a photographers paradise and it is recommended that you bring extra photo equipment. Accommodations are comfortable & well equipped in exclusive fully tented camps and are located in spots selected for their unique beauty.
Exploring skeleton coast is probably difficult on a four wheeler.Air safaris is the best option and also offers the best viewing of this unique place.The Bushmen of the Namibian interior called the region "The Land God Made in Anger", while Portuguese sailors once referred to it as "The Gates of Hell".
