Damaraland Camp, Namiba

Contact a specialist about Damaraland Camp, Namiba

Doro Nawas rests on a small hill on the edge of the dry Aba-Huab River overlooking ancient plains with glorious views of the rugged Damaraland area within the starkly beautiful Doro Nawas Conservancy. This is prime desert-adapted elephant country and clear nights offer ample opportunity for magnificent stargazing, while the ancient rock art of Twyfelfontein is a glimpse into a long-gone world. This combination of Africa's past and present makes Doro Nawas Camp a fascinating visit. The camp provides an excellent base for exploring the local area in game drive vehicles and on foot, taking in the spectacular views and desert scenery.

  • A highlight is the fascinating expedition to Twyfelfontein, Namibia's first World Heritage Site, with its renowned San art engravings, and the largest collection of petroglyphs - prehistoric rock art - in Africa.
  • This is a wonderful area for enjoying the desert environment. There are no large concentrations of game as the desert cannot sustain the numbers however what makes this area fascinating is that this is the Africa of old with no fences. This arid environment is home to desert-adapted elephant, gemsbok, springbok and variety of other species, including occasional glimpses of the endangered black rhino. Birdlife is excellent with several Namibian endemics such as Monteiro's Hornbill and Rüpell's Korhaan.
  • The Doro Nawas Conservancy is a shareholder in the camp and so they benefit directly from employment and an equity stake in the venture.
