Damaraland Camp, Damaraland | Namibia Tours & Safaris

On the north bank of the Huab River Valley, Damaraland Camp looks south over bleached grass, clusters of wild mustard bush and acacia thickets towards the Burnt Mountain - a variable-coloured throwback from the days of volcanoes and dinosaurs.

Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

The landscape is rugged and dramatic and almost otherworldly. Damaraland Camp is seemingly in the “middle-of-nowhere” but that’s her charm and that of this vast, desolate area, known as Damaraland.

The main area is adobe-style and thatch with reed sides and an air of cool contemplation. Next to the pool is a bar and on clear evenings the campfire and al fresco dinner are about as relaxing as you could ever want.

Ten elevated, tented suites salute the setting sun and the Burnt Mountain's changing moods. These walk-in tents have en suite bathrooms, twin or double beds, tea/coffee facilities and a private deck looking out onto that endless vista ahead.

Meals are delicious traditional dishes made from local produce, service is attentive and warm and the activities on offer allow you to explore the wonder of the Torra Conservancy.

Activities

Guided walks, nature drives, day trips to Twyfelfontein Rock Engravings and scenic sundowners. Go see the age-old geological formations, ancient rock paintings, fascinating plants, birds and animals - and maybe an elephant or two.

Desert-adapted animals in the area include elephants, gemsbok, springbok, pure-bred ostriches, kudu, Hartman's mountain zebra and, if you're lucky, the world's last free-ranging black rhino. Common endemics are Rüpell's korhaan, Monteiro's hornbill, white-tailed shrike, Herero chat and white-backed mousebird.

Sustainability

Damaraland Camp demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability through its hybrid power system, which includes solar power panels, inverters, and solar-powered geysers in each tent. This approach not only minimises energy consumption but also enhances the overall eco-friendliness of the camp. Furthermore, Damaraland Camp actively engages with the local community by employing local staff, ensuring that the benefits of tourism directly support the area. The camp also sources its fruit and vegetables from a nearby farmstead, promoting sustainable agriculture and reducing food miles. Through these initiatives, Damaraland Camp effectively combines guest comfort with responsible environmental practices and community support.
