General Infomation - Skeleton Coast Safaris
Safari departures, Pick-Up And Drop-Off
The cold Benguela Current along the Namibian coast ensures prevailing moderate weather along the coast and in the adjacent desert, making it possible for safaris to be undertaken all year round on any day of the week. Transport to and from Eros Airport can be arranged on request.
Before departure a group consisting of at least four and not more than ten persons must be assembled. Groups larger than ten persons will be divided into separate safaris and, if possible, these safaris will then run concurrently, using separate camps.
A self-assembled group may reserve a departure date at will. The safari will be confirmed by our organisation if we have the resources available to conduct a safari on that particular date.
Those individuals and couples unable to form their own groups and who require a specific departure date, may reserve a safari. We will then attempt to assemble a group for this safari. All persons concerned will be notified as soon as the safari becomes feasible.
It is possible that individuals or couples may be accommodated on a safari up to the day before departure. Therefore, even at short notice, please contact our organisation to obtain the latest information on departure dates.
As outlined in the general information section, it is more advantageous for safari participants to start off from Windhoek. The picking up of passengers in the southern Namib Desert from places such as Namib-Naukluft Lodge, NamibRand and Sossusvlei, is possible without detracting significantly from the safari. The picking up of passengers in the northern part of Namibia from places such as the Etosha National Park, however, will detract considerably from the safari and is therefore not an option.
The dropping off of passengers upon completion of a Skeleton Coast Safari at destinations in northern Namibia such as the Etosha National Park or even Swakopmund can be arranged on special request. However, this procedure cannot be applied to places in the southern parts of Namibia due to lack of daylight flying hours.
