Ozondjou Trails

PLAN MY TRIP

Ozondjou Trails is an intimate and eco-friendly camp that invites their guests to become closer to nature, especially the desert elephants of Damaraland.

Accommodations at the camp consist of eight comfortable, Meru-style tents. There are seven twin tents and one family tent to choose from. Each tent is set on a raised wooden platform and furnished with two twin beds. The en suite bathroom features a flush toilet, shower, and sink. The tent’s shaded porch is the best place to enjoy a morning coffee while taking in the breath-taking desert views and a possible elephant sighting.

The camp is located on the banks of the mostly dry Ugab River looking towards the majestic Brandberg Mountain in beautiful southern Damaraland. Damaraland is 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 that can go for days without water. 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.

The camp has a special focus on the desert elephant. Guides from the nearby base camp of the Elephant Human Relations Aid both inform guests about their conservation efforts and take them on their daily patrols to search for the desert elephants and study their behavior. The expeditions take place in a 4×4 game vehicle and are also a good way to spot other desert wildlife. Local farmers lead guided tours of the farmlands. There are also cultural visits to the local school and village. As the day comes to a close, guests are invited to take a short walk before relaxing with a drink to watch the sun set over the desert.

The main area of camp houses a mess tent with a lounge, dining space, and an outdoor sitting area. Scrumptious camp-style meals are cooked outdoors on either an open fire or gas stove. At night, guests gather around the camp fire for some good company and awe-inspiring views of the Ugab River and rocky, desert landscape. An environmentally-conscious camp, Ozondjou Trails focuses on simple comforts that don’t negatively impact its stunning natural setting.
