Damaraland, Namibia
- Price on request
- Camps
- 8 Tent/s
In a wide valley sometimes flush with grass, Desert Rhino Camp lies in the midst of the enormous Palmwag Concession, where trackers patrol and protect one of the largest free-ranging populations of the endangered desert-adapted rhino in Africa. Rhino tracking on foot and by vehicle with these dedicated men is an original and exclusive wilderness experience.
Other activities include exploring the area on full-day outings, nature drives and walks, as well as birding.
The camp has eight comfortable Meru-style tents, 6 twin bedded and 2 double bedded with en-suite
bathrooms and a main area that overlooks a sweeping plain that is dotted with Namibia’s national plant, the welwitschia.
The campfire is where stories are told under Namibia’s star-studded skies, with the stunning backdrop of quintessential Africa.
Desert Rhino Camp is run in conjunction with the local community and Save the Rhino Trust, so, in addition to guests gaining amazing insight into the ecology and conservation of this area, a portion of their revenue goes to the Trust and its conservation operations. A rewarding and memorable experience.

Region
Damaraland is one of the most scenic areas in Namibia; a beautifully dramatic landscape that offers even the most experienced explorer a more adventurous challenge. Prehistoric water courses with open plains and untamed grasslands, rugged gorges and wild-desert mountains give a glorious backdrop for wildlife-watching.
Home to critically endangered black rhinos, desert-adapted lions and elephants, as well as the full range of Namibian specialties such as gemsbok, zebra, giraffe and spotted hyena, Damaraland is a safari-lovers paradise.
Geographical highlights of the area include the magnificent rock formations of Twyelfontein and Spitzkoppe, covered in some of Southern Africa’s finest prehistoric rock art and engravings. Similarly, Namibia’s highest mountain, the Brandberg, is home to the famous ‘White Lady’ Bushman painting.
Other interesting places to visit are the Petrified Forest, an accumulation of enormous fossilized tree trunks roughly 280 million years old, and the Damara Living Museum, which gives an opportunity to experience traditional Damara culture.
From historical culture to spectacular landscapes, Damaraland is an alluring destination one would not want to miss.
