Namibia's Skeleton Coast is a desolate and hauntingly beautiful stretch of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. Characterized by towering dunes, shipwrecks, and a barren landscape, this remote and rugged region is shrouded in an air of mystery and intrigue. The name "Skeleton Coast" originates from the bleached whale and seal bones scattered along the shore, remnants of the whaling industry.

Stretching from the Kunene River to the Ugab River, the Skeleton Coast is home to diverse wildlife, including desert-adapted elephants, seals, and a variety of bird species. Visitors are drawn to the surreal landscapes of Deadvlei and the iconic red dunes of Sossusvlei. Exploring the Skeleton Coast offers a unique opportunity to witness the raw power of nature and the delicate balance between life and the unforgiving desert environment. It is a destination that captures the imagination of adventurous travellers seeking the extraordinary in the heart of Namibia.

Let us take you on a memorable adventure to the Skeleton Coast. We also offer various Namibia Tours to all other Destinations in Namibia.

Award-Winning Stories, And Opinions To Fill Your Life With Adventure

My wife and I and good friends (party of 4) joined Allan and his team in an unforgettable adventure in Kenya, Tanzania and in Rwanda, to see the great city of Kigali and to visit the mountain gorillas and golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park. Of course, we would only go with our good friend Allan.

Gary S USA

I recently booked a trip to Tanzania with Mappe Tanzania, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the post-trip follow-up, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. Our itinerary was perfectly tailored to our interests, and we had an amazing time exploring the country. I would highly recommend Mappe Tanzania to anyone looking for a stress-free and unforgettable travel experience.

Skivrmt USA

Highly recommend Maapi Tanzania and Allan Mollel! This was our first trip to Africa and it met our expectations and more. Allan is respectful of the animals, knowledgeable about the wildlife (animals, birds, and plants), local culture and provided a 5+ star experience.

S. Saville USA

MAAPE provides an incredible focus on the customer experience, with deep knowledge of the “big five” animals but also the birds, plant life, local tribes and their customs. We spent almost three weeks with Allan and could not have expected a better experience.
