Shipwreck Lodge

Nestled in the heart of the African wilderness, Shipwreck Lodge sits between the Hoarusib and Hoanib Rivers within Skeleton Coast National Park. It's a place cloaked in mystery, with swirling mist, and its accommodations are ingeniously designed to resemble shipwrecks. The lodge offers eight twin or double rooms and two-family tents, all equipped with solar power and en-suite facilities. A cozy wood-burning stove keeps you warm during the chilly mornings and evenings. The camp's central areas feature a modern lounge and restaurant, along with a spacious deck offering breathtaking views of the ocean.

Shipwreck Lodge's surroundings are magnificently raw and rugged, inviting you to explore wind-swept plains and towering sand dunes. Activities include thrilling game drives where you can spot desert-dwelling lions, kudus, and elephants while learning about the unique local flora. Marine life thrives along the craggy shoreline, with Cape fur seals congregating there. Look to the skies to catch glimpses of Rüppell’s korhaans and Benguela long-billed larks. Don't miss the chance to visit the Suiderkus and Karimona shipwrecks or explore the geologically fascinating clay castles. Sip colorful cocktails atop imposing sand dunes, immersing yourself in the profound silence of this exquisite terrain.
