Shipwreck Lodge

PLAN MY TRIP

Huddled between the wild Atlantic waters and massive sand dunes, Shipwreck Lodge provides luxury accommodations in Namibia’s exciting Skeleton Coast.

Opening in 2018, accommodations at the lodge will consist of twelve twin or doubles rooms shaped like a shipwreck. Each room comes with an en suite bathroom including a shower, toilet and washbasin complimented with the necessary guest amenities. The rooms also feature a writing desk, bedside lamp, and a small deck in front of the unit for a view of the Atlantic and sand dunes. A small coffee and tea station with hot water flask is also available.

The lodge is located in the famous Skeleton Coast Central Concession between the Huarusib and Hoanib River in the Skeleton Coast Park, only twenty-seven miles from Mowe Bay. The Concession sits on the Southern bank of the Huarusib River Mouth and encompasses 362,256-acres of land. The Skeleton Coast consists of desolate rocky coastline, noisy colonies of Cape fur seals, and the remains of shipwrecks.

Activities at the lodge include a sundowner drive to roaring dunes. An afternoon excursion by vehicle to Oasis, guests will explore the smoothly sculptured roaring dunes in the Concession Area. There is also a full day Huarusib River trip. 4X4 vehicles will travel to see the Clay Castles, a natural geological formation where the brown hyenas found burrowing caves. It’s also a great spot to see the desert adapted elephants and lions. Another excursion travels to the Hoanib River Delta past remnants of the campsites of the previous occupants of the area, the San People referred to the ‘Strandlopers’ of ‘Beach Comers’. There are a lot of wildlife in the area including giraffes, oryx, and possible predators.

The main area will include a restaurant and reception area. A viewing deck will overlook the desolate dunes and windswept Atlantic Coast.
