Damaraland Camp

Damaraland Camp is situated in the Torra Conservancy – an inspirational community partnership – with sensational views of the surrounding desert plains, ancient valleys and distant peaks of the Brandberg Mountains. New technology blends with ancient construction methods to create innovative, eco-friendly luxury in the desert, with the camp’s 10 elevated adobe-styled, thatched units (including a family unit). A spacious, thatched living area is complete with a fireplace, bar, and swimming pool. An open campfire and outdoor 'boma' can be enjoyed during calm evenings.

Large game is not concentrated year-round here, with the natural cycle of rainfall dictating the seasonal movement of wildlife along the Huab River, which can be explored from camp.

Highlights

• Owned and largely run by the local community, who have injected their own distinctive optimism and cheerful nature into the Damaraland Camp experience.
• Superb stargazing in crystal-clear night skies from one of Namibia’s best safari camps
• The Torra Conservancy supports healthy populations of rare desert-adapted elephant

Ten large adobe-style thatched units (including a family unit) are raised off the ground, each with a walk-in dressing area and a large deck on which to sit and contemplate the desert.

Standard Tents
There are nine standard tents which are made up of seven twin bedded tents and two double bedded tents.

Family Tent
There is one family unit which sleeps four in two adjacent rooms connected by a walkway with a door.

Nature drives
Morning and afternoon game drives reveal the dramatic scenery and fascinating wildlife of the region. Desert-adapted elephant are the highlight of the area, although the natural cycle of rainfall dictates the seasonal movements of wildlife along the Huab River.
