North-West Namibia

Damaraland

Desert-adapted elephants and ancient rock art

Dramatic, sparsely populated wilderness of rust-coloured mountains, hidden valleys and remarkable desert-adapted wildlife.

Damaraland is raw, cinematic country. Track desert-adapted elephant and rhino across dry riverbeds, marvel at the UNESCO rock engravings at Twyfelfontein, and stay in some of Namibia's most characterful eco-camps.

It rewards the curious traveller with solitude, geology and conservation stories you'll carry home.
