Situated on the northern face of Namibia’s Huab River Valley and looking south toward the imposing Brandberg Mountains, Damaraland Camp offers its guests endless vistas. 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.
Damaraland Camp has 10 tented rooms each with an en-suite bathroom. The dining room and bar are combined under canvas, and an open fire is enjoyed on calm evenings. A feature of the camp is the unique rock cum swimming pool.
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. Mountain bikes are available for guest use.
Damaraland Camp was nominated the overall winner of the Tourism for Tomorrow Conservation Award 2005 by The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).
