Location:- Doro Nawas Camp is situated in the ruggedly beautiful Damaraland area, on a small, rocky outcrop within the floodplain of a small tributary of the Huab River. This exciting new destination is a joint venture between Namibian investors, the local Doro Nawas community and Wilderness Safaris. The camp is located in the valley of the dry Aba-Huab River with spectacular views of the Etendeka Mountains to the north and the red sandstone cliffs of Twyfelfontein, famous for its San petroglyphs (rock engravings) to the south.
The unique lodge design allows for an unspoilt panoramic view of this diverse and dramatic landscape, which varies from tabletop outcrops, small canyons, dry riverbeds to savannah and grassland vistas. The magnificent terrain holds all the possibility for a sighting of the rare desert-adapted elephant while enjoying a nature drive or relaxing, viewing the stars from the rooftop of the main area or from your private veranda. Doro Nawas provides quality service and an excellent base for self-drive and fly-in guests to explore the local area in game drive vehicles. The camp also creates a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the economic empowerment of the local community while enjoying a luxury safari experience. The combination of Africa past and present makes for a memorable experience.
