Luxury holidays in Skeleton Coast

When to go

The Skeleton Coast is a year-round destination, with the dry season from May to October bringing the most reliable and comfortable conditions for game spotting, and temperatures peaking around December and January.

Getting there

• Planes

  Windhoek’s Hosea Kutako is your nearest international airport; from here, your safari camp can arrange onward air transfers to your basecamp.

• Automobiles

  Although it’s technically possible to drive from Windhoek through the Namib desert to the Skeleton Coast National Park, it’s not advisable to make the eight-hour 4WD trip under your own steam; you’re better off sticking to organised connecting flights.
