Madisa Camp is located in Namibia’s scenic Damaraland region, nestled along the Goantegab River just off the D2612 road leading to the famous Twyfelfontein World Heritage Site. The camp is tucked away between striking granite rock formations adorned with ancient Bushman paintings and lies along an active desert-adapted elephant route, offering guests a chance to witness these magnificent giants up close.
Madisa is an ideal base for travellers seeking comfort, exclusivity, and adventure in one of Namibia’s most captivating landscapes. From here, you can easily explore nearby attractions such as Twyfelfontein, Brandberg, the Petrified Forest, and more, before returning to Madisa for a relaxing afternoon swim and sundowner. Finishing an unforgettable night under a starlit sky.
Madisa Camp offers nine spacious private campsites set alongside the Goantagab Riverbed, each designed for guests who enjoy comfort, privacy and the beauty of Damaraland.
Every site has its own private ablution facilities, a braai area, lighting and a limited plug point. Low stone walls create a sense of seclusion, while the stilted shower and donkey boiler provide hot water after a day on the road. It is an ideal setting for relaxed evenings around the fire, clear starry skies and the quiet of the desert.
These sites are large and each have a circle braai area with seating, a wash up basin and water supply. The ablution facilities are shared.

Madisa Camp’s guided Elephant Tracking Excursion departs at 07:30 and usually lasts between six and eight hours, depending on where the desert-adapted elephants are moving on the day. Accompanied by an experienced guide, guests learn how to read tracks, signs and the surrounding bush while searching for these remarkable elephants in their natural Damaraland environment. A light lunch and cooldrinks are included, making this a full and rewarding day out in the wilderness.
The Scenic Sunset Drive leaves from Madisa Camp and meanders through the surrounding areas, where sightings of Elephant, Giraffe, Springbok and other game are possible but not guaranteed. The guide takes you up on a ‘koppie’ to enjoy the beautiful Damaraland sunset.
