Skeleton Coast Safaris
 To visit the northern part of the Skeleton Coast Park, you'd have to contact Skeleton Coast Safaris run by the Schoeman family since 1977. They offer combined flight and 4x4 safaris to the Skeleton Coast high up into the western Kaokoveld. The lonely coastal areas with the mysterious "roaring sands" and unusual rock formations of the Ugab valley are highlights. the mysterious "humming dunes", the extraordinary rock formations of the Ugab valley, where black mountain chains in the background contrast with the blinding white desert, the red lava and the yellow sandstone formations of the Huab area, very old rock engravings, a visit to a village of the Himba, who still lead a traditional nomadic life and dress in their traditional way, and the impressive landscapes of the Hartmann valley, which leads up to the Kunene river. The safaris are rather expensive (approx. 5000 US$ for a 4 days safari). Reservations through: Khashana Highline Travel, info@highlinetravel.net. |
