A Luxurious Safari Camp Overlooking The Wild And Remote Hoanib River Valley In Northern Namibia

Hoanib Valley Camp is located in the Sesfontein Community Conservancy Area of Kaokoland, in the very remote northwest of Namibia. The camp is located on the banks of the Obias River, overlooking the Hoanib Valley, a long, meandering oasis in one of Africa's most attractive deserts.

The camp offers game drive and nature walk options, giving visitors the opportunity to see desert-adapted elephant, giraffe, lion and black rhino. The camp also provides an opportunity to meet local Herero people and learn about their culture and way of life.

An amazing experience awaits all that visit; we would suggest at least a 3-night stay.

The tented lounge is stylish and comfortable, with a lounge area and indoor dining area, a well-stocked drinks cabinet and a veranda overlooking the surrounding desert valley floor.

Safari Activities

The safari activities available at Valley Camp offer visitors a unique chance to explore the desert-adapted wildlife of Namibia.

Game drives allow guests to track and photograph lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos and mountain zebra, while nature walks offer a different perspective on the surrounding desert landscapes and mountains. Rhino tracking is also a popular activity in and around Hoanib Valley, as the area is home to a large population of free-roaming black rhinos. In addition, spending a few hours with the local Herero people offers a fascinating cultural experience.

Finally, Dr Fennessy and the (giraffe conservation foundation) GCF have discovered four distinct species of giraffe across Africa, making Hoanib Valley Camp an ideal destination for anyone interested in giraffe research.
