The Huab River Valley lies in one of the best wilderness areas in Namibia, offering endless vistas of plains, valleys and mountains. Wilderness Damaraland Camp is run in partnership with the Torra Conservancy and visits to the local farmstead reveal the fruits of this very positive relationship.
Each of the ten spacious en-suite, adobe-style thatched accommodations (including a family unit) has a large private viewing deck. New technology and ancient knowledge makes for an ultra-light footprint; nature drives and guided walks offer sights of desert-adapted wildlife, ancient rock-art and striking geological formations. Astonishing night skies round out each day’s experiences.
INSIDER'S TIP: Meet members of the local village on a community visit and discover the inspiring story of how Wilderness Damaraland Camp came to be …
The camp comprises nine spacious adobe-style twin en-suite rooms under thatch. Each is built on a raised wooden platform, with a large deck to sit and relax on and soak in the endless and ever-changing desert landscape. Gravel pathways lead to the main public area.
There is one family unit consisting of two bedrooms, each with two three-quarter beds and own en-suite facilities. Separate entrances lead to each bedroom, while a shared outdoor deck connects both units.
