Coastal Wilderness

Nestled between the Namib Desert and the Atlantic Ocean, the Skeleton Coast unfolds as a mesmerising tapestry of coastal wilderness. The relentless forces of nature have sculpted wind-swept dunes and expansive desolation, creating an environment that stands in stark contrast to conventional landscapes. As you traverse this untamed terrain, the haunting beauty of shipwrecks, remnants of maritime history, emerges like silent sentinels, adding a layer of intrigue to the raw grandeur that defines this pristine coastal expanse.

Enigmatic Flora and Fauna

Within the desolate yet resilient environment of the Skeleton Coast, a unique flora and fauna ecosystem has adapted to the challenging coastal conditions. Desert-adapted wildlife, including the elusive brown hyena and specially adapted elephants, find sanctuary in this harsh but captivating landscape. Birdwatching enthusiasts are treated to a haven of diverse avian life, with the interplay of land and sea offering a paradise for those seeking the company of feathered inhabitants in a setting unlike any other.

We did a short term decision to visit Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe on a long weekend. ECT‘s recommendation in regards of flights, hotel, dinner tour and drumshow was simply perfect and allowed to relax as well. I only can recommend.

For our first safari in Africa we decided to go to Sabi Sands private game reserve which was incredible. The whole process went seamlessly thanks to our amazing agent Valencia Sifo. She was extremely responsive and very helpful at answering all our questions for the trip. I would highly recommend her to help you plan a trip of a LIFETIME! Thank you Valencia.

Delayed trip to South Africa after Covid. All amendments were handled swiftly and efficiently. Cost kept to minimum considering a 2 year delay. Every property we stayed at was excellent, every trip organised was excellent, car hire was perfect and would definitely use them again. Recommended to friends.
