Torra Bay, Skeleton Coast Namiba

 Situated in the Skeleton Coast National Park, on Namibia's cold and icy Atlantic coast. It is approximately 270kms north of the town Henties Bay. This part of the coastline is notorious for its treacherous sand banks, to which many ships over the years have fallen prey. A number of shipwrecks are testimony to this tragic past, hence the name Skeleton Coast.

The campsite is only open between 1st December and 31st January, which coincides with the Namibian school holiday season.

There are 60 campsites at the Torra Bay Resort, and the amenities are pretty basic, such as water, fire wood, a shop and a petrol station.

The Fascinating Quivertrees Of Namibia

If you are driving in the Keetmanshoop district of Namibia you will see Quiver trees on many of the hillsides, but a short detour to the Quivertree Forest that is situated on the farm Garigunas will make some exellent photographs of  'a tree with a difference'.


 The Quivertree is only Naturaly found in Northen Cape and Southern Namibia running up into damaraland.

The Quivertree is not really a tree but a plant being the aloe dichotoma. The trees normally seen standing singly in very arid rocky areas and they area ussually found on rocky north- facing hills.It is quit unusual to see them grouped (forest like) like on farm Garigunas 157.


These amazing trees can live for between 200 - 300 years old, each about 9 metres in height, and have a base diametre of about 1 metre. The Quiver tree trunk is tapered and covered with a rich brown yellow patterned bark that flakes of giving a scaley effect to the trunk.The core of the trunk is mainly fibres which allows for water storage.Older trees bristle with a profusion of branches that are silver in appearance. The branches exudes fine droplets of liquid that when dried leaves behind a silver taclum like powder that helps to reflect the sharp light.
