Remote bush airstrip serving Namibia's Hoanib wilderness.
Location
Hoanib Valley, Namibia
Hoanib Airstrip (ICAO: FYHO) is a small, remote bush airstrip located in the Hoanib River Valley area of northwestern Namibia, within the Kunene Region. It serves as an access point to the ecologically significant Hoanib floodplain and surrounding wilderness, primarily supporting safari and conservation operations in the area.
The airstrip is used almost exclusively by light charter aircraft transporting guests to and from exclusive private lodges and conservation camps in the region, most notably Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp. It plays a crucial role in providing access to one of Namibia's most remote and wildlife-rich desert ecosystems.
There are no scheduled commercial services operating from this facility. Its operations are tightly linked to conservation-focused tourism, and it is managed in coordination with the lodges and camps it serves.

Ground transport from the airstrip is arranged exclusively by the private lodges and camps in the Hoanib area, as no public road transport is available.
