Damaraland Camp is located
in possibly the most pristine wilderness area in Namibia, the Huab
River Valley. Boasting panoramic vistas of stark plains, ancient
valleys and the soaring inselberg of the Brandberg Mountains,
cheerful Damaraland Camp integrates the local community and
environment through sustainable ecotourism. This rare synergy has
won a host of awards, including the 2005 WTTC Tourism for Tomorrow
Conservation Award which is one of the top two global environmental
travel awards
Accommodation at Damaraland Camp consists of 10 adobe-styled,
thatched units each raised on individual wooden decking - part of
which extends out to form a large viewing deck with magnificent
vistas. Recently refurbished, each tent has en-suite facilities
(shower only), a walk-in dressing area and built-in fan. Mosquito
repellent is also provided.
The spacious, thatched living area features a restaurant and bar,
complete with fireplace. Evening meals at Damaraland Camp are often
prepared over an open fire and served out in the open in an area
near to the camp lit by an assortment of small lanterns. The
swimming pool is conveniently sited next to the bar. An open
campfire and outdoor 'boma' can be enjoyed during calm evenings,
with superb stargazing in the crystal-clear night skies.
Large game is not concentrated year-round here, with the natural
cycle of rainfall dictating the seasonal movement of wildlife along
the Huab River.
Activities at Damaraland Camp revolve around exploring the Haub
River system, featuring guided nature drives, walks and mountain
biking. Morning and afternoon drives in search for desert-adapted
elephant are a great favourite. Gemsbok, greater kudu, springbok,
and occasionally lion, cheetah, elephants and black rhino can be
spotted. Interesting flora such as euphorbias and shepherd's trees
can be viewed on the way to some of Africa's best known rock
engravings, including the famous Twyfelfontein etchings.
