Palmwag Rhino Camp is situated in the 1 million acre private Palmwag reserve in Damaraland in north-west Namibia, between Etosha and the Skeleton Coast - few places on the planet can offer this level of privacy and wilderness experience.

Lights are powered by solar panels and the tented dining room offers uninterrupted views of the desert and mountains. Welwitschia (ancient desert adapted plants) plants dot the plain in front of the camp. Activities include rhino tracking on foot or by vehicle as well as day and night nature drives. Guests often enjoy full day outings, with a picnic lunch, on the reserve.

Palmwag Rhino Camp is a joint venture between Wilderness Safaris and the "Save the Rhino Trust" - a non-profit conservation organisation that has been working in this area for 20 years. The Trust have been singly responsible for helping to ensure that these rare, desert adapted black rhino survived the slaughter that went on throughout other parts of Africa in the 80s and 90s.

Today this population of black rhino is growing in numbers and the area boasts the largest concentration of rhino anywhere on the planet outside of a national park. Community game scouts who were employed by the Trust to help with the patrolling and monitoring all these years are now seconded to the camp and are the trackers and guides. A portion of every guest's revenue goes to the Trust.

ACCOMMODATION
Damaraland Camp has 10 tented rooms comprising eight twin bedded tents, one honeymoon tent and one family unit each with an en-suite bathroom including flush toilet and shower with hot and cold running water.
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.

GAME VIEWING
Considering the proximity of the concession to the Skeleton Coast Park and true Namib Desert, this area is home to a surprisingly high variety and density of wildlife. The 450.000 hectare area supports the largest free roaming population of Black Rhino in Africa as well as a healthy number of desert adapted Elephants. There are good populations of Hartman's Mountain Zebra, Giraffe, Oryx, Springbok, Ostrich, Lions, Cheetah, Leopard, Spotted and Brown Hyena. Bird life is diverse and prolific with most of Namibia's endemics present.
