| Cape Cross Lodge |
|
| The Cape Cross Lodge is located on
Namibia’s Skeleton Coast. It is the only private land on this
coastline with a beachfront. The Lodge is ideally situated only 4
km from the Cape Fur Seal colony and 50km north of Henties Bay
on the C-34 in the Torra Bay direction. Access is easy by passenger
vehicle and for charter flights the airstrip is a five-minute drive
from the Lodge. |
 |
Cape Cross Lodge offers luxury
in 12 well appointed sea-facing double rooms, and 5 partially sea-facing
rooms. Deck chairs and tables are placed on the balconies for relaxation.
The lounge and dining area feature individual fireplaces built in
classic
style ensuring a warm and cosy atmosphere. The lounge and
dining area provide access onto the pristine private beach with the
water's edge only metres from the Lodge. For small groups, an à-la-carte
menu is available and for larger groups a buffet. The cocktail bar

| De Duine Hotel |
|
| In the heart of the coastal Namib Desert,
only 70km north of Swakopmund lies Henties Bay and the cosy De Duine
Hotel. Located in a quiet area near the beach, the hotel, like all
others in the Namibia Country Lodges group, offers value-for-money
accommodation. The tastefully decorated lounge and ladies bar as
well as the à-la-carte restaurant, renowned for its seafood
and venison |
 |
| dishes, are sure
to please the discerning visitor. The
20 well appointed double en-suite rooms are equipped with TV, telephone
and opens onto a courtyard surrounding a swimming pool. Angling and
other sporting facilities are also on offer along the coast. |

|
| Skeleton Coast Camp |
|
The Skeleton Coast Park is one of our
planet’s most inhospitable but hauntingly beautiful places;
it is wild, desolate and uninhabited. The area is everything from
roaring dunes, windswept plains, towering canyons and salt pans to
seal colonies and shipwrecks. Over much of the past decade, access
to this private, northern region of the park has been restricted.
With the opening of the new Skeleton Coast Camp in
|
 |
| April 2000, they offer superb 4
or 5 day fly-in safaris to this region, with departures every Wednesday
and Saturday. |
| |
| Wilderness Safaris’ Skeleton
Coast Camp is located north of Möwe Bay, in one of the region’s
dry riverbed, wildlife havens. Activities from this central point
are centred around full day trips to the coast or inland, with a
midday break for picnic lunch. One can enjoy game drives, beach
drives, exploration of shipwrecks, salt pans, towering canyons and “clay
castles”. Throughout the park are pockets of wildlife |
 |
| such
as Springbok, Oryx, Ostrich and the rare desert Elephant,
Brown Hyena, Jackal, and sometimes
on the rare occasion,
cheetah. Even more fascinating are the many endemic species of plants,
reptiles and insects and the multicoloured lichens that cover the
large expanses of gravel plains. |
| |
| The Skeleton Coast Camp is small and
exclusive with 6 luxury tented rooms that all have bathrooms
providing flush toilets.
They do have a water shortage and laundry service is unavailable.
The
central area consists of an indoor lounge/dining room and bar and
an outdoor dining area under an ancient Leadwood tree. This is one
of the favourite dining spots , under endless star-filled skies that
add to the humbling and inspirational experience of a Skeleton Coast
safari. |
