The north-western part of Namibia, known as the Kaokoveld, is a dry and arid region, seemingly uninhabitable but filled with life. In this otherworldly landscape of massive dunes and rocky mountains, criss-crossed with dry riverbeds, the Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp provides an oasis for guests in this remote wilderness.
