Shipwreck Lodge
Skeleton Coast, Namibia
Why we love it
Famous for the great winds and strong currents, many explorers’ ships were wrecked on this coast, hence the very fitting name of Shipwreck Lodge. This stunning brand-new lodge has been designed to resemble the shipwrecks that line Namibia‘s beachfront on which the lodge sits on. Each of the rooms is solar powered and has a private en-suite bathroom, along with a wood burning stove to keep you warm on the chilly evenings. The intricately designed lounge and restaurant overlooks the sweeping sand dunes all the way over to the Atlantic Ocean.
Despite the apparently arid landscape, game viewing at Namibia‘s Shipwreck Lodge is definitely not limited. Desert-adapted elephants, giraffe and lion roam in the surrounding areas, whilst the ocean houses Cape fur seals, and birdlife is abundant. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a brown hyena or two.
Explore all the bay has to offer: from seal colonies to flamingos; shipwrecks to abandoned diamond mines; and the remains of a WWII bomber.
Explore the rocky riverbanks of Hoarusib River, home to clay castles that are frequented by hyenas, desert elephants and lions.
Sit on the beach and enjoy the crisp sea breeze and the sound of crashing waves whilst enjoying a deliciously prepared picnic.
Enjoy having the ocean to yourself with the lodge's exclusive use of the area to fish, and anything caught can be prepared for your dinner.
Drive along the sand dunes to Oasis Point to watch the sun set over the sand â the perfect mirage to end the day.
For an adrenaline-fuelled activity, race over the sand dunes through the wind to explore this unique terrain in the most exciting way.

The journey to Namibia and Serra Cafema was the best trip I’ve ever done. I really loved the remote camp, the way we travelled there (flying over the endless dunes and amazing coastline in a private plane) and the infinite hospitality, knowledge and passion of the whole team. We enjoyed a lot of activities: we visited the Himba people, which was the experience of a lifetime, took a quad bike tour and boat tour. For my birthday, they organised a private dinner at a beautiful, remote location.
