Damaraland Camp in the Huab River Valley
Damaraland Camp brings together wide desert views, wildlife outings and a strong community connection in Damaraland and Kaokoland. The Huab River Valley forms its backdrop, with open plains, ancient mountains and a usually dry riverbed that supports surprising pockets of life. It is a place to slow down and explore with guides who know the landscape.
The camp operates as a joint venture with the Torra Conservancy. Tourism revenue helps fund local development and infrastructure, so the community partnership is central to the experience. This Wilderness camp suits travellers who value both nature and the people who live here. Browse our Namibia lodges when comparing stops for your route.
Suites at Damaraland Camp
Ten elevated, adobe-style suites sit beneath thatched roofs, with broad views across the surrounding plains. Their setting keeps the scenery close, whether you are waking to the morning light or returning after a nature drive. The appeal is comfortable desert hospitality with room to pause between excursions.
A family unit offers an option for guests travelling with children. Share your party size and children’s ages so we can confirm the right sleeping arrangement and applicable price. Tell us about any mobility requirements before booking, as the elevated setting matters when choosing a suitable stay. Ask which suite arrangement best meets your needs rather than assuming every room is identical.
Relax and enjoy local flavours
The swimming pool offers a welcome break between outings, and Wi-Fi is available for keeping in touch. Evenings can bring guests together around the fire, with the mountains changing colour as daylight fades. Leave some time in your itinerary simply to enjoy camp.
Meals celebrate local produce and traditional dishes. Wilderness describes sunrise breakfasts with coffee brewed over the fire and roosterbrood cooked over coals, as well as boma dinners beneath the stars. Menus and settings vary, so share dietary requirements in advance. The fully inclusive rates below cover meals, scheduled camp activities, park fees, laundry and local drinks. Premium imported beverages and champagne cost extra.
Explore desert life and community
Nature drives and guided walks explore the Huab landscape and its geology. Desert-adapted elephants are a highlight, alongside animals such as oryx, springbok and Hartmann’s mountain zebra. Wildlife moves through a large, open landscape, so sightings vary and should never be taken for granted.
Visits to DeRiet introduce life in this remote community and add context to the conservancy partnership. A day trip to Twyfelfontein offers time with ancient rock engravings, while stargazing reveals another side of the desert after dark. Discuss your interests with the team when planning, since schedules and suitability depend on local arrangements. Explore our Namibia safaris to connect this stay with other regions.
Plan your Damaraland stay
Damaraland Camp lies in the Torra Conservancy, overlooking the Huab River Valley. Confirm current access directions and any transfer arrangements before departure. Give this remote setting time in your itinerary rather than treating it as a quick overnight stop between longer journeys.
Pack comfortable walking shoes, sun protection and layers for changing desert temperatures. Tell us your preferred activities and any family requirements when enquiring.
