NAMIBIA UNDER CANVAS SAFARI - SMALL GROUP SAFARI

//Huab Under Canvas is located in a core desert adapted black rhino area in the //Huab Conservancy in Damaraland, and it is nestled in a grove of Mopane trees on the banks of a tributary of the //Huab River. Protected from all the prevailing winds and sun, the semi-mobile camp is virtually invisible from anywhere around and it carries arguably the lowest environmental footprint of any camp in Namibia.Our camp chefs have their own unique specialties so delicious, wholesome meals and local delicacies are prepared for each meal using fresh local produce wherever possible. Guests are looked after by a caring, warm tribe of ‘safari magicians’ who love what they do and whose main ambition is to ensure that each moment spent Under Canvas is as perfect as possible. Days are filled with thrilling encounters and nights are spent entranced with exclusivity beyond most people’s wildest expectations. Activities include tracking desert adapted rhino which is completely private and done in an area that has the highest tracking success rate in north western Namibia; exploring the upper and less crowded //Huab River in search of desert adapted elephants (if in the area); nature walks and scenic game drives; as well as the possibility of visiting some nearby prehistoric rock engravings.

Built in a naturally formed amphitheater of a south-facing granite outcrop, tents are protected from the stormy east winds by natural stone walls, shaded by roofs built from almost 500 recycled oil drums that give the appearance of pangolins, and equipped with furniture built in part from recycled metals and wooden pallets. Sossus Under Canvas carries one of the lowest environmental footprints in Namibia. The large west-facing windows and south-facing door allow natural cooling by the predominant afternoon south westerly wind and the tents have basic infrastructure that allows for important comforts such as en suite flush toilets and bucket showers, comfortable twin beds, solar lighting and a shaded day-bed, but the essence of the camp remains “Under Canvas”, semi-permanent, seasonal and experiential.

The camp is booked on an exclusive basis (tiered pricing for varying pax numbers) for each group we take there, and it can only be used as part of one of our privately guided or fly-in safaris.

The camp offers eight tents, two of which are family units, and is open seasonally between April and November, offering a fantastic alternative to any traditional lodge in the Sossusvlei area as it also offers exclusivity which is beyond compare.
