Namibia Damaraland camp.
Situated on the northern face of the Huab River Valley and
looking south toward the imposing Brandberg Mountains, Damaraland
Camp offers its guests endless vistas.
Early morning mists generated by the clash between the icy
Atlantic Ocean and the warm desert air of the Skeleton Coast,
drift inland along the river sand canyon, providing sustenance
to the flora and fauna of the region. This comfortable and
friendly camp offers walks and drives in one of the best
wilderness areas in Namibia.
Although wildlife is not concentrated, Damaraland Camp is
situated where the rare Desert Elephant roams, alongside Gemsbok
(Oryx), Springbok, Ostrich and other hardy desert animals.
Rare succulent plants somehow manage to eke out an existence in
this harsh countryside.
Damaraland Camp has 10 tented rooms each with an en-suite bathroom including flush toilet and shower with hot and cold running water. A laundry service is offered.
The
stone living area combines the dining room and pub and an open
fire is enjoyed on calm evenings. There is a swimming pool next
to the bar. Activities throughout the area are in
4x4 vehicles and on foot. Mountain bikes are also available for
guest use.
