Delve into some of Africa‘s last true wildernesses on this exclusive, private flying adventure. Fly from Windhoek to the striking Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp, light aircraft being the only way to access this remote corner of the world. Found among the valley’s stark, moon-like landscape, spend your days enjoying the desert-adapted wildlife and on flying safaris over thrillingly desolate shores.

The flying continues with a journey to one of the most remote places on Earth, Kunene River, and Serra Cafema. Explore this fascinatingly wild outpost as our specialist guides take you to discover endless dunes and meet the extraordinary nomadic Himba tribe.

After a short stay in Windhoek, move into Botswana‘s Linyanti for three final days of epic, wildlife-rich safari at the opulent Zarafa. Listen to the sounds of the bush as our expert trackers take you on game drives, bush walks and pontoon boat trips to spot everything from lion to wild dog to zebra.

Back at camp sink into absolute luxury and watch the animals from your opulent free-standing bath, Swarovski binoculars or lantern-lit pool.

Placed at the confluence of two tributaries in a broad valley of the Kaokoveld Desert, the camp offers an unforgettable gateway from which to experience both the thrillingly desolate Skeleton Coast and the private Palmwag Concession, alive with desert-adapted wildlife. You'll get a feel for the exclusivity and wonderful remoteness of your accommodation as you fly in by light aircraft - the only way to access the camp.

The imitate, luxury tented camp consists of just seven twin-bedded suites and one family unit, each complete with shaded outdoors decks from which to contemplate the valley's starkly stunning, moon-like landscape. Scenic flights over desert shores reveal lonely shipwrecks, massive dunefields, floodplains and the Auses Spring. Explore the Hoanib Riverbed for sightings of elephant, lion, giraffe, gemsbok and springbok, shaggy brown hyaena and opportunistic black-backed jackal, or head to the rocky shoreline to get an earful of the noisy Cape fur seal colony. Unravel the mysterious history of the original ancient Strandloper people and the enigmatic stone circles they left behind and encounter the Welwitschia on a nature walk – one of the oldest and strangest plants on the planet.
