Wilderness Damaraland Camp is situated in the Huab River Valley which is considered to be one of the best wilderness areas in Namibia. This region offers endless vistas across the stark plains, ancient valleys, and a stunning ochre-purple mountain backdrop. Exploring this area is done so by day and night nature drives and walks. Venture further onward to find ancient rock art and geological wonders.

Set in the Torra Conservancy, Damaraland is situated within one of the driest, most desolate regions in all of Africa. In this arid environment, the ceaseless processes of life revolve around harnessing the near non-existent water in the most economical way possible. This landscape, unfortunately, cannot support vast, concentrated herds of wildlife, but it still boasts a varied and breathtaking assortment of desert-adapted species around Damaraland Camp.

The camp boasts ten large adobe-style thatched units, including a family unit. These units are raised off the ground, each with a walk-in dressing area and a large deck on which to sit and absorb the desert. The main living area offers a dining area and swimming pool to escape the Namibian heat. An open campfire and outdoor boma are enjoyed during calm evenings and stargazing are superb, thanks to the crystal-clear night skies.

Enjoy superb meals that are prepared with fresh produce that is flown into Damaraland Camp on a regular basis. The talented chefs and their team, are innovative and create excellent African dishes and fine dessert cuisine. Meals can be enjoyed at the long dining table in the main area, but more often you’ll dine outside around the open fire, your table lit by lanterns.
