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.

Each of the six raised en-suite guest tents at Hoanib Valley Camp offer guests beautiful views of the surrounding environment, as well as comfortable and stylish decor.

The tented suites are all equipped with indoor showers, private verandahs, and en-suite bathrooms.

Camp Facilities

The camp offers guests a variety of luxurious amenities, including comfortable accommodations, delicious dining options, and centrally located guest areas, all with Wi-Fi.

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

There is also an outdoor dining area and a cosy fire pit, as well as a small plunge pool for cooling off. The swimming pool is the perfect spot to relax and take in the natural beauty of the area.

However, the camp's true appeal lies in its stunning surroundings and abundant wildlife.

The camp is designed to have a minimal human impact, allowing guests to experience nature at its finest. In our opinion, the camp offers all that is needed in such an environment; the less human impact, the better.

A limited laundry service is available for those spending more than two nights in camp.

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.
