Camping Namibia

Park / Reserve: Damaraland

Damaraland’s rust-red mountains and dry riverbeds are where Namibia’s desert-adapted elephants roam and where some of Africa’s oldest rock art survives at Twyfelfontein, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Community-run campsites along the Aba-Huab and Ugab riverbeds near Uis and Khorixas put guests within a short drive of the engravings, the Petrified Forest, and Brandberg Mountain — home to the famous White Lady rock painting — with a real chance of spotting elephant tracks in camp overnight.

    Elephant tours: The desert elephants roam the Ugab River between May/June and December/January. Your visit to this area is seasonal and depends on the rainy season. The rest of the year (in summer or when it rains in the country) they move further north into farmland. Therefore our trips also depend on the time of year and whether the elephants are in the area.

    We do morning and afternoon elephant tours depending on how far or how close the elephants are to the lodge area.

    You will also be informed of your elephant viewing changes upon arrival. Price for these tours is N$630. This includes 1 bottle of water and 2 drinks. Children under 10 years old cost N$450.Elephant Drives/ Walking/ Sundowner Drive/ Scenic Drive.
