Situated on the northern face of the Huab River Valley and looking
south toward the imposing Brandberg Mountains, Damaraland Camp offers
its guests endless vistas. Early morning mists generated by the
clash between the icy Atlantic Ocean and the warm desert air of
the Skeleton Coast, drift inland along the river sand canyon, providing
sustenance to the flora and fauna of the region. This comfortable
and friendly camp offers walks and drives in one of the best wilderness
areas in Namibia.
Although wildlife is not concentrated, Damaraland Camp is situated
where the rare Desert Elephant roams, alongside Gemsbok (Oryx),
Springbok, Ostrich and other hardy desert animals. Rare succulent
plants somehow manage to eke out an existence in this harsh countryside.
Damaraland Camp accommodates guests in nine comfortable tented
rooms, with en-suite facilities - including flush toilets and showers
with hot and cold running water. A laundry service is offered. The
dining room and pub are combined under canvas, and an open fire
is enjoyed on calm evenings. A feature of the camp is the unique
rock pool. Activities throughout the area are in 4x4 vehicles and
on foot. Mountain bikes are also available for guest use.
The natural laws of food and water availability dictate the movement
and cycles of the elusive and majestic desert adapted Elephant,
the rare Black Rhinoceros, Oryx, Kudu, Springbok and other species
that have come to terms with life in a desert environment. Even
Cheetah move in and out of the area occasionally.
