The journey, one day at a time

Out at first light.

02Skeleton Coast

Shipwrecks & desert coast

Before the heat builds.

Explore the foggy coast — shipwrecks, seal colonies and roaring dunes. Two extremes meet here — the oldest desert and the cold Atlantic — and the result is a coast of fog, wreck and bone unlike anywhere on earth. <strong>It is scenery as raw emotion, the landscape of survival and shipwreck</strong>, and the far north, fly-in only, is among the last truly empty places left.

Departure

A last morning, then the road home.

A final morning in onward — a last outing or a slow start as time allows — before the transfer onward and the journey home.

When to travel

The season changes what you see.

May – Oct

Dry season

Cool, clear and dusty; game concentrates at Etosha's waterholes and desert travel is at its easiest. Peak months.

Nov – Apr

Green season

Hot with afternoon storms; the desert greens, newborns arrive and the light turns dramatic, with fewer visitors and lower rates.
