Skeleton Coast is located within Namibia and is found on its long stretch of coastline on the western border. To get to this coastal part of this fascinating country, most will argue that flying into Hosea Kutako International Airport will be your best option.
From here, you have the option to either hire your own vehicle and do a self-drive tour of Namibia, which includes this stop and is probably the most common way travellers experience Namibia. You could also take part in a scheduled tour with a group of like-minded travellers, or if you want to spend as much time as possible at the destination, a fly-in option is for you!
If you choose to fly in, you will arrive at Namibia's main international airport, and you will then either fly from here or from Eros Airport, just a short drive away. Either way, you'll fly via an air transfer, usually a smaller charter plane (Cessna Caravan or similar) comprising a pilot and six or so other passengers. This air charter then takes you straight to the lodge's private airstrip, where hotel staff will greet you.
If you find that you are up for a bit of adventuring to truly feel like you are in Africa and have visions of becoming Indiana Jones, consider a road trip. Choose your vehicle (2x4 or 4x4 recommended, depending on your itinerary route), grab a map or GPS, and head out on the open road! The good news is that Namibia is one of the best places for a self-drive holiday. The landscapes are incredible and unlike anywhere on earth, and the roads are long and safe.
You do not need to head straight to Skeleton Coast once you land in Namibia. There are plenty of places to go and attractions to see along the way, so make a week or two-week holiday out of this breath-taking destination.
