Fodor's Expert Review Damaraland Camp
Damaraland, Kunene, Namibia Fodor's Choice
This exceptional camp on the Huab River in central Damaraland is the ideal starting point for searching for desert-adapted elephants, with guides who are astute in accommodating photographers’ need to get the perfect shot. Located within the Torra Conservancy, encircled by ochre mountains and sand dunes, the views from the gorgeous, adobe-style, thatch units take in a landscape of craggy beauty formed by millions of years of unending geological movement. After a day in the desert, cool off in the swimming pool, read or watch the desert birds from one of the hanging cocoon chairs, or relax with a drink in the spacious, airy lounge, where surreal views and unsurpassable service are the name of the game.
