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.
A laundry service is offered.
