Doro !Nawas Conservancy

Doro Nawas Camp is a joint venture between Wilderness Safaris, the Doro !Nawas community and a Namibian empowerment company.

The development of this camp follows on the success of Damaraland Camp in the neighbouring Torra Conservancy.

Here Wilderness Safaris and the community members have cooperated in a joint venture that is acknowledged as a shining example of modern community-based ecotourism.

The enormous Doro !Nawas Conservancy is 407,300 hectares and represents some 450 community members. In addition to acting as landlords in the conservancy, these community members hold a 40% share in Doro Nawas Camp. All camp staff are sourced from the community and trained by Wilderness Safaris. Benefits flow directly into the conservancy and its members.

In 2007, Wilderness Safaris and the Doro !Nawas Conservancy made history when representatives signed one of Namibia's first Joint Ventures with a conservancy. The venture is a pioneering project which supports Vision 2030 goals - set to ensure effective management of the nation's natural & human resources, and critical to economic development.
