Hoanib Valley Camp is set in the heart of Kaokoland, deep in north-western Namibia, an area of towering mountains, sand dunes, and huge expanses of desert, scattered with unique wildlife and nomadic Himba settlements. It's one of Namibia's most remote and wild environments.
The camp is a joint venture between the local communities and the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. There are 6 rooms, including a family room. Your days here will be spent tracking endangered rhino, desert-adapted elephant, and of course desert-adapted giraffe, before retiring to your private veranda to marvel at the magnitude of your surroundings (G&T in hand).
See desert adapted elephant, giraffe, lion, rhino, mountain zebra, and oryx
