Damaraland is one of our favourite areas of Namibia - its innate beauty intensified by the solitude and the sense of freedom it engenders. This rugged mountain wilderness to the west of Etosha offers great photographic opportunities with its imposing granite domes, dramatic flat-topped mountains and vast panoramas. It's attraction is the peace and solitude rather than teeming herds of game. However you may be lucky enough to encounter some of the desert-dwelling elephant, the rare black rhino and other game that migrates across Damaraland according to the rains. It is highly dependent on recent rainfall patterns as these animals will journey way out of their normal region in search of water sources. However there are also herds of gemsbok, springbok, kudu (in the eastern parts), steenbok, mountain zebra and giraffe in the area. A visit to the fascinating rock engravings at Twyfelfontein, a prehistoric art gallery, and the fossilized tree trunks of the Petrified Forest, are equally absorbing.
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.

Morning and afternoon nature drives reveal the dramatic scenery, and fascinating wildlife of the region. Desert-adapted elephant are the highlight of the area, although the natural cycle of rainfall dictates the seasonal movements of wildlife along the Huab River.
