Introduction

Hoanib Valley Camp, a joint venture between the local communities and the Giraffe Conservation Foundation offers guests an intimate and elegant option when travelling to the area. A camp where one can immerse oneself into the wilds of desert life.

It is situated in the heart of an untouched and pristine wilderness area, one of the largest in Southern Africa. A multitude of desert-adapted wildlife surrounds the camp including free roaming desert lion, elephant, rhino, giraffe, hyena, oryx and mountain zebra.

A typical day consists of tracking rhino, lion, elephant and giraffe either on foot or on a 4x4 safari vehicle ending with sundowners overlooking one of the earth's most spectacular vistas.

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

Rooms and Suites

Six raised en-suite tented suites blend perfectly into the surrounding environment. Views from the private verandahs are nothing short of spectacular.

Suites are decorated in colours, textures and patterns all inspired by the Hoanib and the surrounding Kaokoland.

  • 5x double/ twin suites
  • 1x family suite
  • Ensuite bathrooms
  • Indoor showers
  • Private verandah

Cuisine and Wine

Hoanib Valley offers guests both indoor and outdoor dining locations with the emphasis on dining in the open air. The cuisine is a delicious and wholesome affair no matter the time of day all the while being prepared by a skilled chef and his team in the kitchen.

All meals and local drinks are included in the nightly rate.

Lodge Facilities

A camp designed with the surrounds in mind offers very little in terms of facilities other than luxurious accommodation, dining and central guest areas and Wifi. In honesty, one visits Hoanib Valley Camp for the surrounding vistas, wildlife and birdlife.

In our opinion, the camp offers all that is needed in such an environment, the less human impact, the better.

  • 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.
