Lining up for take-off on the strip…
…at Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp… 
…turning right after take-off for the final view over the river bed and the camp.
Flying over this part of Namibia is amazing. First the sand and mountains, then…
…ever changing patterns… 
…and colours.
In the distance a line of clouds over the Skeleton Coast…
…while looking down shows these fantastic patterns…
…created by rains, maybe years ago.
A more distinct river bed and even something that is green…
…and then we approached this area with mountains…
…that probably were shaped hundreds of millions of years ago…
…where the tops of the mountains represent what was once ground level.
Our pilot was Elfrieda. She is a safety officer within Wilderness Air and we have worked together in the Inter Operator Safety Meetings that are regularly held at Eros airport in Windhoek. Elfrieda loves flying the Cessna Caravan and navigated safely in this mountainous area.
Although many of the mountains we passed were high they all looked like “nothing” compared to Brandberg in front of us. It is the highest mountain in Namibia and its top does not show an earlier ground level. Brandberg is a huge piece of granite that was once pushed from below the crust of earth up and through it. Geology in Namibia is fascinating!
It was another fantastic 40-45 minutes in the air with amazing views but now…
…we had circled the field and were turning…
…onto the final for landing.
Thanks Wilderness Air and Elfrieda for a safe and beautiful flight!
For our last day at the Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp we had a wonderful offer! We were allowed to join the Brown Hyena researcher; Emsie Verwey on her morning visit to a Hyena Den!
We started early that morning…
…stopped to see “Hyena poo”; it is white because Hyena eat bones. There is something else on the picture that is hard to see and we did not spot it at first. It is a…
…Sidewinder snake. My last day in the bush and I see a snake for the first time! I have only seen snakes from the car before. The Sidewinder is poisonous but usually not deadly. 
Ahead of us was our target and…
…almost immediately we saw a Hyena. It is one of two cubs being raised here by their mother. These cubs are “teenagers” now and have started walking around finding their own food.
It soon disappeared into one of several dens in this area and…
,,,it was time for us to be still and quiet. I think we did quite well during about one and a half hour. I did not expect to see more, the sun was rising…
…but suddenly he/she (?) was there again!
I never thought I would think so of a Hyena, but this one was cute!
After moving to another den it was out of sight…
…and after a while we walked up to the den!
Somewhere in there is a Hyena!
We looked at the “garbage” outside and it was easy to see what was on the diet;
Oryx, Springbok and Giraffe.
This is the view from a Hyena den close to Hoanib river near Skeleton Coast. It is beautiful, but…
…it was time for us to return to camp…
…to say all the goodbyes. Goodbye Camp Manager Clement, thanks a lot to you and your kind and skilled staff.
And goodbye Emsie, thanks ever so much for this fantastic Hyena experience. Say hi to Flip from us!
And goodbye Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp. We will not forget you…
…and goodbye to our super driver, guide and friend Gert! You really did take good care of us!
We had been here three nights but had experiences like if we had been here for weeks. The final experience was waiting for us – a flight back to Doro Nawas in the Caravan.
