Introduction

Damaraland Camp is a comfortable, friendly camp, situated in the Huab River Valley in one of the best wilderness areas in Namibia; as such it offers endless vistas across stark plains, ancient valleys and soaring peaks of the Brandberg Mountains.

Early morning mists generated by the clash between the icy Atlantic Ocean and the warm desert air of the Skeleton Coast, drift inland along the river sand canyon, providing sustenance to the flora and fauna of the region. This comfortable and friendly Huab River Camp offers walks and drives in one of the best wilderness areas in Namibia.

Although wildlife is not concentrated, Damaraland Camp is situated where the rare Desert Elephant roams, alongside Gemsbok (Oryx), Springbok, Ostrich and other hardy desert animals. Rare succulent plants somehow manage to eke out an existence in this harsh countryside.

Rooms and Suites

This Huab River Camp offers up ten large en-suite, adobe-style thatched units that are raised off the ground, each with a walk-in dressing area and a large deck on which to sit and contemplate the wonders of the desert.

Cuisine and Wine

The stone living area combines the dining room and bar and an open fire is enjoyed on calm evenings. The spacious living area connects the dining area, bar, and fireplace.

Lodge Facilities

There is a swimming pool next to the bar. New technology combined with ancient knowledge has produced an eco-friendly yet high-performance design.

An open campfire and outdoor 'boma' are enjoyed during calm evenings and stargazing is superb thanks to the crystal-clear night skies.

Safari Activities

Large wildlife is not concentrated year-round here, the natural cycle of rainfall dictating its seasonal movements along the Huab River.

Activities include nature drives, walks, and mountain biking during which guests can see species such as desert-adapted elephant, gemsbok, greater kudu springbok, and occasionally cheetah and black rhino as well interesting flora like euphorbias and shepherd's trees.

The area also has some of Africa's best rock engravings including the famous Twyfelfontein etchings.

Family Friendly

Family and child-friend accommodation and activities are on offer.

  • The Road To Sossusvlei

    Once one navigates the main Sesriem entrance gates and enters the national park a pleasant surprise awaits, a tarred road (yes, a tarred road) that extends all the way through to the main parking area near Sossusvlei.

  • Cape Town To The Kunene River

    In November and December of last year (2019), we loaded our Jeep and headed north out of Cape Town, destination Namibia and the Kunene River, her border with Angola. A couple of thousand kilometres later, we returned, this time, more in love with Namibia than ever.

  • Windhoek Oktoberfest 2021

    On the 25th and 26th of October, the Sports Klub Windhoek will host the 55th edition of the Oktoberfest. Over 5000 people are expected to attend (compared to 1000 in 2010). Adding a certain local flavour will be the Namibian band Famaz Attak, and there will be long-established activities and games like archery and tree trunk sawing.

  • Top 5 restaurants in Windhoek

    Continuing our series of dining in Africa, we look at the Namibian capital, Windhoek. More and more visitors are becoming aware of the unique attractions of Namibia as a safari destination. Nowhere is too far to travel in this small (and clean) city of 330,000 but be warned when you go out to eat, vegetarianism is not common!

  • Best Places To Go In Namibia

    The Uyaphi team has compiled a list of the "Best Places to go in Namibia" which most safari itineraries would include. Namibia is different from most African safari destinations. Instead of lush green forests or open savannas, the primary attraction of Namibia is vast, open deserts interspersed with canyons, mountain ranges, and oasis.

  • Living With The Himba

    In May 2012, we arranged for Uyaphi.Com client Ken Vine from Devon in England to stay with the traditional Himba people in two remote villages in the middle of Kaokoland, Namibia. He lived, slept, ate, conversed and photographed these Himba villagers.
