Wildlife and Landscape
Elephants galore at Damaraland Camp, that's what you can expect at the moment on a game drive. Our guides have been finding them quite successfully. The young bull Oscar seems to be reaching maturity as he is constantly being 'picked on' by the elder herd members. Perhaps he will be ousted out of the herd in due course - only time will tell.

Although not a frequent sighting at Damaraland Camp, we are enjoying more and sightings of black rhino towards the western area of our concession, which borders on the Skeleton Coast Park. This is certainly an exciting value-add to staying with us, and let's hope it continues.

It is not all about desert-adapted elephants here at Damaraland Camp. The opportunity to go mountain biking from camp is a popular activity. The energetic Hansen family from the U.S.A decided to enjoy the spectacular Damaraland landscape from a saddle rather than a Land Rover!

Guest Comments
"We had an excellent guide and to see the elephants was a wonderful experience. We were shown many animals and birds we would not have observed on our own - my expectations were fulfilled and exceeded."
"Outstanding scenery, friendly camp hosts, a knowledgeable guide, and the boma dinner - we loved it all."
