Traditionally designed bungalows in an astonishing setting
Location: Tucked among the granite boulders of Damaraland, Camp Kipwe blends harmoniously into the Aba Huab valley landscape. The camp’s remote setting ensures a peaceful and intimate atmosphere, with sweeping desert views and easy access to some of Namibia’s most iconic geological and cultural landmarks, including Twyfelfontein, Burnt Mountain, and the Organ Pipes.
Rooms: Camp Kipwe offers a range of thoughtfully designed rooms. Standard bungalows feature air-conditioning, open-air en-suite bathrooms, and shaded verandas nestled among the rocks. The View Room adds a private deck with elevated valley views. For added comfort, the Kipwe Suite includes a heated splash pool, private lounge, and outdoor sala. Two Luxury Suites offer spacious interiors with separate lounges, panoramic decks, and private dining. All rooms have limited Wi-Fi, tea and coffee facilities, and solar-powered amenities.
Amenities: Guests can unwind in the natural stone pool or enjoy the open-plan lounge and dining area, which frames endless desert views. A sundowner viewpoint, boma for special dinners, and a small curio shop round out the communal areas. The camp accepts major credit cards and provides limited cellphone service.
Activities: Explore the UNESCO-listed Twyfelfontein rock engravings, join guided drives in search of desert-adapted elephants, or take a self-guided walk among the flora of the region. With knowledgeable local guides, you’ll gain insight into the region’s wildlife, geology, and culture.
Sustainability: Camp Kipwe is built to blend into its environment, using natural materials and solar energy wherever possible. Its small footprint and eco-conscious practices ensure your stay supports the conservation of this fragile desert ecosystem.
