| Location:-
Damaraland Camp is a rare venture which integrates communities,
the environment and sustainable wildlife and has been rated as
the most successful eco-tourism venture in Namibia. The 80,000-hectare
Torra Wildlife Conservancy has been proclaimed as a result of
the partnership between Wilderness Safaris and the local community.
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.

Accommodation:- Nine large, comfortable
walk-in tents with doors. All tents have valley views and each
has en suite facilities and a covered veranda providing stunning
views of the valley. The main living area made from local rock
and canvas combines the dining room, lounge and bar under canvas.
An open camp fire area is perfect for after-dinner drinks. 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:-
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
departure or directly with the Camp Manager. Star-gazing is "par
excellence" because of the crystal-clear night skies.
Wildlife:- The natural laws of
food and water availability dictate the movement and cycles of
the rare and endangered Desert Elephant, Black Rhinoceros, Oryx,
Kudu, Giraffe, Hartmann's Mountain Zebra, 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.
About 85% of guests who spend two nights or more at Damaraland
Camp see the Desert Elephant. Birding specials include Monteiro's
Hornbill, Carp's Black Tit, Ruppells Korhaan and Ludwig's Bustard.
Child Policy:- Child friendly. Cots, high chairs
and babysitting services are available.
Power supply:- There is 24 hour
electricity to all rooms. |
