Damaraland Camp
Damaraland Camp is a rare venture which integrates
communities, the environment and sustainable wildlife and is rated as the most
successful eco~tourism venture in Namibia. Located on the north bank of the
Huab River Valley, 90 kilometres inland from Torra Bay on Namibia's Skeleton
Coast, the camp presents endless vistas across stark plains, ancient valleys
and soaring peaks. The brooding mass of the Brandberg provides a focal point,
almost 100 kilometres to the south. Early morning mists, generated by the
meeting of the icy Atlantic and the warm land mass along the Skeleton Coast,
drift inland along the river line, providing sustenance to varied life~ forms.
The river flows only once or twice during the short rainy season, seldom
breaking through the dunes to the ocean.

Accommodations
Nine large comfortable walk~in tents with doors. All
tents have valley views and each has en suite facilities and a covered veranda.
The main living area made from local rock and canvas combines the dining room,
lounge and bar. A feature of the camp is a stunning rock plunge pool tucked
away in a mini gorge behind the camp. Dinner can be enjoyed in an open air
"kraal" under a million stars

Activities
Activities revolve around nature drives into the Huab
River System in search of Desert Elephants and other specially adapted flora
and fauna. Walking in the Damaraland area is spectacular and is highly
recommended as an afternoon activity. With prior notice, a trip can be arranged
to the famous Twyfelfontein rock engravings located nearby. A full day
excursion is available to track the endangered Desert Adapted Black Rhino
subject to the availability of a vehicle. Private vehicles for these excursions
can be booked at an additional cost subject to availability either prior to
departure or directly with the Camp Manager.

Wildlife
The natural laws of food and water availability
dictate the movement and cycles of the rare and endangered desert Elephant,
Black Rhinoceros, Oryx, Kudu, Springbok and other species that have come to
terms with life in a desert environment. Even Lion and Cheetah move in and out
of the area occasionally.
