Skeleton Coast Flying Safari

Orientation

Choose the right Skeleton Coast Flying Safari

Skeleton Coast sounds like drama: fog, wrecks, endless coast, desert, airstrips and rare wilderness. For it to become luxury, the Flying Safari has to be more than just a series of spectacular flights.

Hoanib, Serra Cafema, Kunene and the Skeleton Coast fulfill different roles. Hoanib stands for desert wildlife, Serra Cafema for extreme isolation on the Kunene, the coast for geology, fog and vastness.

Deluxetargets checks camp logic, airstrips, weather windows, flying safari sequence, desert lion realism, guides and whether Namibia is better planned as a short special trip or as a larger round trip.
