65 elite traveler SPRING 2024

FLYING THE SKELETON COAST NAMIBIA A vast, ethereal expanse of land, the Skeleton Coast — named for the whale and seal bones and the many shipwrecks that once littered the shore — stretches from south Namibia up to Angola. It is a hauntingly beautiful place full of barren desert plains, huge sand dunes, fossil beds, curious vegetation and desert-adapted creatures such as the endangered black rhino and desert-dwelling elephant. The coastal stretch is so gargantuan — 24 miles wide and 310 miles long, as well as being a hostile landscape — that it would be nearly impossible to see it all in one fell swoop, so take to the skies and take it all in from above. Look out for unsettling shipwreck remains along the coast and the ever-changing geological formations. Accommodations during this otherworldly safari consist of tented desert camps that merge into the natural surroundings. From $45,000 per person for four nights.
