Designed for desert wanderers, Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp offers an original, exclusive wilderness experience and the opportunity to see free-ranging desert-adapted black rhino. The desert plains are starkly scenic, and home to other unique species, from Hartmann’s zebra and giraffe, to the bizarre welwitschia plant.
Styled with the desert in mind, the palette, textures and wildlife of Damaraland’s extraordinary vistas are brought into the elegant suite interiors.
With natural stone found on site reinforcing the camp’s connection to nature, Desert Rhino Camp evokes a real sense of place in this stark desert landscape.
Six suites with deep overhanging stretch fabric roof structures, interior tones of terracotta, sage, fern greens and cream, complemented by classic details of timber and leather, create a sheltered sanctuary within this breath-taking desert landscape.
Run in conjunction with Save the Rhino Trust Namibia, Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp offers rhino tracking by vehicle and on foot with experts from this conservation NGO.
INSIDER'S TIP: Explore this extraordinary landscape in search of desert-adapted wildlife and gain amazing insight into the ecology and conservation of this area. A picnic lunch is the perfect complement to your day’s outing!
Utilising smart architectural strategies, redesigned Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp focuses on comfort, creating a sheltered haven within the occasionally harsh but always stunning desert environment. Architectural form and materiality drew inspiration from the copper-coloured earth, the red rocks carpeting the ground and the contours of the hills that define the landscape.
All five tents face the rugged desert landscape, featuring deep overhanging stretch fabric roof structures that offer protection from the desert sun while preserving the exquisite horizon views, within this breathtaking desert landscape. Soft interiors showcase stone, timber and leather, celebrating the classic explorer age, while seamlessly blending in modern style and sophistication.
Families are easily accommodated in two units, each with own en-suite facilities. Sleeping four comfortably. A private rooftop viewing area leads off from the main bedroom that invites quiet contemplation under the vast African sky whilst enjoying a nightcap.
