Damaraland CampSituated on the northern face of the Huab River Valley and looking south toward the imposing Brandberg Mountains, Damaraland Camp offers its guests endless vistas.
  • Guided walks
  • Scenic drive
  • Bird watching

Early morning mists generated by the clash between the icy Atlantic Ocean and the warm desert air of the Skeleton Coast, drift inland along the river sand canyon, providing sustenance to the flora and fauna of the region. This comfortable and friendly camp offers walks and drives in one of the best wilderness areas in Namibia.

Although wildlife is not concentrated, Damaraland Camp is situated where the rare Desert Elephant roams, alongside Gemsbok (Oryx), Springbok, Ostrich and other hardy desert animals. Rare succulent plants somehow manage to eke out an existence in this harsh countryside.

Both animals and people are thriving through ecotourism in Damaraland.Community & Conservation
The area around Damaraland Camp in Namibia was once badly poached and home to one of the poorest communities anywhere. Today, due to the successful partnership between the Damaraland Community and Wilderness Safaris, and the implementation of a viable eco-tourism model, around 180 000 acres of land are under conservancy protection, wildlife numbers are thriving and the local community have money in the bank and employment. Damaraland Camp has recently been awarded the World Tourism for Tomorrow 2005 conservation award.
