SHIPWRECK LODGE, SKELETON COAST NATIONAL PARK

ARRAY OF DESERT ADVENTURES

Situated on Namibia’s wild and hauntingly beautiful Skeleton Coast, this unique lodge makes its home amidst the region’s rolling sand dunes and mysterious shipwrecks. The ultimate base for an array of desert adventures.

Each of the lodge’s striking, solar-powered chalets have been designed to mimic the shipwrecks dramatically strewn along Namibia’s Atlantic coast.

Step inside, however, and you’ll be welcomed by modern, well-appointed interiors with ensuite bathrooms and cosy, wood-burning stoves. At the heart of the lodge lies the attractive lounge and restaurant, complete with wraparound deck where you can take in views that stretch out towards the shimmering ocean.

The only property within the Skeleton Coast National Park, you can be sure of an exclusive experience. Game drives will bring you encounters with an array of fascinating desert-adapted wildlife, including elephants, giraffe, lions, baboons and the occasional brown hyena. Also on offer are 4×4 excursions to the eerie shipwrecks of Suiderkus and Karimona, the seal colony at Mowe Bay and the remarkable Clay Castles geological formation. And what better way to end the day than with a sundowner in the dune fields, watching the sunset over the shimmering golden sands.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”
From our very first phone call, 91ºÚÁÏÍø provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91ºÚÁÏÍø stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91ºÚÁÏÍø and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.
