Namibia’s Skeleton coast is often regard as rugged and remote but that doesn’t mean that visitors to this area have to compromise on luxury accommodation options!

For a taste of splendour on your safari, check out options like the Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp, which sits in a valley amongst the Hoanib River, close to the Palmwag area and the iconic Skeleton Coast National Park.

This superb camp serves as the ideal place for newlyweds to relax and unwind following their nuptials, featuring seven large tents each fitted with a stylish bedroom, en-suite, a shaded outdoor deck and a range of luxury amenities. Nestled between rugged hills to the east, and the west, there’s no better place to sit, have a glass of wine, and absorb the beautiful scenery.

If you’ve ever imagined yourself soaking in a pool, closing your eyes and listening to the soothing sounds of river rapids then head to the Hartmann Valley, located in the extreme northwest of Namibia- on the banks of the Kunene River.

This area is hugely popular amongst locals and safari-goers alike, boasting a vast array of stunning accommodation that provides the ultimate in luxury lodging. Lodges in this corner of Namibia, like Serra Cafema, feature eight riverside wood thatched villas that are purposely elevated so you can soak up some unforgettable views. Serra Cafema even boasts some incredible indoor and outdoor dining areas, a sunken lounge and a top-class swimming pool situated against the backdrop of the lush Kunene River.


Grandeur and Peace in Namibrand

Serving as the ultimate peaceful retreat, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better place to relax in comfort and luxury than Namibrand Nature Reserve.
