Shipwreck Lodge is the only lodge inside the Skeleton Coast National Park, 45km north of Mowe Bay on the mouth of the Hoarusib River. Uniquely designed around the relics of shipwrecks that dot Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, there’s nowhere on the continent quite like Shipwreck Lodge. In fact, there’s nowhere on earth quite like the Skeleton Coast. It’s a raw, rugged and impossibly remote slice of African wilderness, where towering dunes and wind-swept plains roll as far as the eye can see, buffeted by the icy Atlantic seas.

But there’s much more to the area than simple isolation. Stay at Shipwreck Lodge and track desertdwelling elephant and elusive desert lion. Discover the enchanting desert flora (succulents and lichens) then sit atop the dunes as the sun sinks below the horizon. Spend the day beachcombing for whale bones and debris from centuries of shipwrecks or marvel at the geologically-remarkable Clay Castles.

Shipwreck Lodge is a joint venture partnership with Namibian businesses, local communities and Natural Selection. This brand new camp boasts an innovatively designed lounge and restaurant with a wide deck and uninterrupted views all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. 10 cabins (8 twins and 2 family tents) are en-suite and solar powered all with views of the wild Atlantic Ocean. To keep guests warm on the cold coastal nights each tent has a wood burning stove.
