A glorious desert property offering guests a huge range of activities on the beautiful plains of Damaraland
Location: Nestled in the heart of the Huab River Valley, one of Namibia’s most dramatic and remote wilderness areas, Damaraland Camp offers an immersive desert experience. Surrounded by ancient mountains, rust-red plains, and an ever-changing palette of colours, the camp sits within the Torra Conservancy, a place where wildlife and local communities coexist in harmony.
Rooms: The camp features ten elevated thatched suites designed in an adobe style, each offering sweeping views of the expansive desert landscape. A dedicated family unit provides added space and privacy for those travelling with children. Thoughtfully built to blend into the surroundings, the suites are comfortable, airy, and open to the elements, allowing guests to fully connect with the environment.
Amenities: Guests can enjoy the shared swimming pool, lounge area, and an inviting outdoor boma for evenings of traditional dining under the stars. Wi-Fi is available, allowing guests to stay in touch or share their sightings. Cuisine here highlights local ingredients and traditional Namibian flavours, from fire-cooked roosterbrood at sunrise to eembe ice cream in the afternoon.
Activities: Damaraland is known for its desert-adapted wildlife. Nature drives offer chances to see elephants, giraffes, black rhinos, and more. Guests can also visit the ancient rock engravings at Twyfelfontein, enjoy sundowners in scenic locations, or gaze up at the stars in one of the world’s clearest night skies.
Sustainability: Damaraland Camp is a successful model of community-based tourism, operating in partnership with the Torra Conservancy. This collaboration supports local livelihoods, promotes wildlife conservation, and transforms former human-wildlife conflict zones into protected habitats.
