Namibia

Doro Nawas Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

Situated in the spectacular Aba-Huab River Valley, Doro Nawas Camp provides breathtaking views of rolling grasslands that stretch toward the soaring Etendeka Mountains in the north and the red cliffs of Twyfelfontein to the south.

The camp’s sixteen resident units are constructed of a combination of stone, canvas, wood, glass, and thatch materials. These natural, earthy materials allow the structures to seamlessly blend into the surrounding landscape. Twelve of the rooms come with twin beds and three have double beds. There is one family unit which can accommodate four people. Each unit includes an en-suite bathroom with a refreshing outdoor shower. For added privacy and relaxation, each unit enjoys its own raised veranda making it the perfect spot for taking in the beauty of landscape or sleeping under a blanket of stars.

The camp is located in the Doro Nawas Conservancy in central Damaraland. The rugged, rocky landscape here in north-western Namibia consists of stark valleys and dry riverbeds that carve their way through deep gorges and ancient geological features. While there are no large concentrations of wildlife in this stark region, the Conservancy is still home to a wide range of animals including desert-adapted elephants, gemsbok, springbok, bat-eared fox, and even the occasional sighting of cheetah and black rhino.

Daily game drives conducted by expert guides track the region’s small but diverse animal populations and sometimes include a river lunch or a scenic nature walk at Little Table Mountain. A unique highlight of this area is Africa’s largest collection of petroglyphs, prehistoric San rock art, at Twyfelfontein, designated a World Heritage Site. Other geological excursions take in the Petrified Forest, Burnt Mountain, and Organ Pipes. Guided nature walks take a closer look at how the flora and fauna in the region has adapted to survive in the harsh climate. There are also cultural visits to Damara Living Museum as well as camp chats about the Damara people’s way of life, language, and traditions. For the adventurous, the camp offers a night-time scorpion walk with the help of UV lights.

Perched atop a rocky knoll offering pristine panoramic views, the main area of camp houses the indoor and outdoor dining areas, bar, and a local curio shop. The camp’s pool provides a cool respite during the afternoon heat. While a staircase to the flat roof leads to a place perfect for a refreshing sundowner or just a chance to sit back and gaze at the expansive, starry sky.
