Hoada Campsite, Damaraland | Namibia Tours & Safaris

Tucked into and built around a jumble of elephant-size boulders, each campsite has its own ablution facilities, own kitchen and wonderful private settings. Your water is heated by a donkey - a wood-fired, boiler - and you have flushing toilets, sinks and a glorious outdoor shower. What more could you want?

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 soft sand of the campsites makes for perfect barefoot holidays and the shade from the acacia and mopane trees is a welcome treat in the heat of Damaraland. More welcome still is the small swimming pool, also cleverly built into the rocks with a view of the vast Damaraland valley.

Part of a community conservation project, Hoada campsite is owned by the - you'll need to wet your lips and clear your throat for this one - #Khoadi //Hoas Conservancy. Best you ask your friendly camp assistants for pronunciation tips. The community works in partnership with the renowned Grootberg Lodge about 25km away to ensure high standards are maintained.

Grootberg Lodge offers a variety of guided activities, you'll just need to book (through us, or directly with the lodge if you prefer to keep it spontaneous) and make your way to the lodge in your own vehicle.
