De Duine Hotel, Skeleton Coast | Namibia Tours & Safaris

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

Its a great place to stay if you're looking for some of the world's best deep-sea angling spots.

Activities

The hotel can help you arrange angling tours, dolphin cruises, sky diving, 4x4 excursions and scenic flights.

If you do want to fish you can catch 20kg silver kob, or kabeljou as locals call it, or 150kg bronze whaler sharks. In fact Henties Bay is the only town on this stretch of Namibian coast known as the Dorob National Park (the former National West Coast Recreation Area). It is also part of the Skeleton Coast National Park.

There’s obviously a plethora of other marine life too. Green turtles can be found north of Henties Bay.

It’s a good place to walk. The Jakkalsputz Walking Trail is an unmarked 18km walk from The Gallows to Jakkalsputz. And there’s a low-tide rocky shore walk, which is good for noseying around for marine wild life.

The Omaruru River Walking Trail offers a choice of either 20 or 70km walks. You can get maps for both Omaruru walks and the Jakkalsputz Trail from the Tourist Office.

If you want to venture further and birds are your thing, head for the Omdel Dam. For animals the Ugab River is home to desert adapted elephants and 70km to the north of Henties Bay is the seal colony of Cape Cross. You can also drive to Spitzkoppe or Swakopmund which is about 70km away.

Or stay in Henties Bay. There are several shops and a novel 9-hole golf course.
