Damaraland Camp is a warm, friendly place situated in the Huab River Valley in one of the most pristine wilderness areas in Namibia; as such it offers endless vistas across stark plains, ancient valleys and soaring inselberg of the Brandberg Mountains. Damaraland Camp is a rare synergy which integrates the local community and the environment with sustainable ecotourism, and has won an array of awards including the 2005 WTTC Tourism for Tomorrow Conservation Award, one of the top two global travel environmental awards in the world.

  • Stargazing is superb thanks to the crystal-clear night skies.
  • While large wildlife is not concentrated year-round, species such as desert-adapted elephant, gemsbok, greater kudu springbok, and occasionally Hartmann’s mountain zebra, cheetah and black rhino can be seen.
  • Excellent birdlife – Rüppell’s Korhaan and Benguela Long-billed Lark among other endemics.
  • This is a wonderful area for enjoying the desert environment. There are no large concentrations of game as the desert cannot sustain the numbers. What makes this area fascinating is that this is the Africa of old with no fences, and local herdsmen with their livestock live side by side with the wildlife.
  • The Torra Community are shareholders in the camp, so they benefit directly from employment and have an equity stake in the venture.
