DAMARALAND CAMP
|
Damaraland Camp
is a
rare venture which integrates communities, the environment and sustainable
wildlife and is rated as the most successful eco~tourism venture in
Namibia. Located on the north bank of the Huab River Valley, 90 kilometres
inland from Torra Bay on Namibia's Skeleton Coast, the camp presents
endless vistas across stark plains, ancient valleys and soaring peaks. The
brooding mass of the Brandberg provides a focal point, almost 100
kilometres to the south. Early morning mists, generated by the meeting of
the icy Atlantic and the warm land mass along the Skeleton Coast, drift
inland along the river line, providing sustenance to varied life~ forms.
The river flows only once or twice during the short rainy season, seldom
breaking through the dunes to the ocean.
Accommodation offered are in 9 large comfortable walk~in tents with doors. All tents have
valley views and each has en-suite facilities and a covered veranda. The
main living area made from local rock and canvas combines the dining room,
lounge and bar. A feature of the camp is a stunning rock plunge pool
tucked away in a mini gorge behind the camp. Dinner can be enjoyed in an
open air "kraal" under a million stars.
Activities
revolve
around nature drives into the Huab River System in search of Desert
Elephants and other specially adapted flora and fauna. Walking in the
Damaraland area is spectacular and is highly recommended as an afternoon
activity. With prior notice, a trip can be arranged to the famous
Twyfelfontein rock engravings located nearby. A full day excursion is
available to track the endangered Desert Adapted Black Rhino subject to
the availability of a vehicle. Private vehicles for these excursions can
be booked at an additional cost subject to availability either prior to
arrival or directly with the Camp Manager.Game Drives
The natural laws of food and
water availability dictate the movement and cycles of the rare and
endangered desert Elephant, Black Rhinoceros, Oryx, Kudu, Springbok and
other species that have come to terms with life in a desert environment.
Even Lion and Cheetah move in and out of the area
occasionally.
Room rates are usually valid from 01 November - 31 October
