Damaraland Camp

Dinner is a real treat at Damaraland Camp, with your waiter announcing the dinner menu in the Damara language. The chefs and their team create excellent African dishes! Meals are 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.

Morning and afternoon nature drives reveal the dramatic scenery and fascinating wildlife of the region. Desert-adapted elephants are the highlight of the area, although the natural cycle of rainfall dictates the seasonal movements of wildlife along the Huab River.

Learn more about the ancient geological past and present of Damaraland; as well as about the unique plants, birds and reptiles that have superbly adapted to this arid area.

Full day Twyfelfontein excursion with a picnic lunch (approximately 6.0 hours in duration) only on a three-night stay or more (subject to guide and vehicle availability) - excursion includes San rock art engravings, the Damara Living Museum (approximately 10 kilometres from Twyfelfontein/ approximate 40-minute drive to De Riet), Burnt Mountain and Organ Pipes]. Additional cost applies.

Learn about the unique heritage of the local peoples, which include Nama-Damara, Herero, Owambo, and the displaced Riemvasmaakers of South Africa. This activity allows you to respectfully engage with these communities and it also includes a visit to the local Bergsig School.

Set out in the morning by vehicle and on foot, to follow the Save The Rhino Trust expert guides, monitoring and tracking one of their charges – the desert-adapted black rhino. Due to the vast terrain, long distances can be covered, with other wildlife to be seen along the way. * Note that the guided rhino tracking activity, by vehicle and foot (the full experience with “Save The Rhino Trust (SRT)”) usually offered at Desert Rhino Camp will now be offered at Damaraland Camp for the period 01 May 2021 to 31 December 2021.
