The main area includes a comfortable open-air lounge and dining room, small spa and swimming pool, a library and a firepit that encourages storytelling under the stars.

Hoanib is known for its population of desert-adapted elephants, which have evolved to survive in this harsh, water-scarce region. Game drives trace their movements along the Hoanib River, often revealing sightings of giraffe, oryx, springbok, and predators such as lions and brown hyenas. Guests can also explore the stark beauty of the Skeleton Coast on full-day excursions to the Atlantic shoreline, where dramatic dunes and shipwrecks meet crashing surf.

Accessed via light aircraft from Windhoek or Swakopmund, Hoanib Elephant Camp appeals to those seeking isolation, scenery, and a deep connection to nature in one of Namibia’s most compelling wilderness areas.
