Each of the camp’s ten adobe-style thatched tents are built on raised platforms that extend out from the tent to create a large viewing deck with expansive views of the desert. The camp blends modern techniques and ancient construction techniques to form eco-friendly rooms that blend in with their desert setting. There are nine standard tents including seven with twin beds and two with double beds. There is one family unit which sleeps four in two adjacent rooms connected by a walkway with a door. In addition, the rooms feature built in fans and an en-suite bathroom with double sinks and a shower.
The camp is located in the Huab River Valley in the Torra Conservancy. The Conservancy sits within one of the driest and most desolate regions in all of Africa. Because water is scarce, this scrubland is home to a varied assortment of desert-adapted wildlife including elephants and black rhinos. Gemsbok, kudu, springbok, Hartman’s mountain zebra, southern giraffe, gemsbok, lion, cheetah, and spotted and brown hyena call this desert home too. Birdwatchers will delight in the over 240 species recorded here.
Due to the region’s prominent arid climate, large game viewing is not available year-round as seasonal rains dictate the flow of the Huab River. However, camp activities do center on guided nature walks and game drives along the river in search of elephant, gemsbok, kudu, and springbok as well as the rarer lion, cheetah, and black rhino. There are also excursions to see the prehistoric rock drawings of the land’s ancient human inhabitants, including the famous etchings at Twyfelfontein. Cultural tours visit local communities to learn about the unique heritage of the Nama-Damara, Herero, Owambo, and the displaced Riemvasmaakers of South Africa. These visits also include a trip to a local farm at either Fonteine Pos or DeRiet.
The award-winning camp is wholly owned by the local community. The spacious, thatched common area features a restaurant and bar. The camp’s swimming pool is the ideal spot to cool off and enjoy the panoramic views of the desert. During calm evenings, the open fire pit and boma beckons to guests to come relax under a wide, starry sky.
