Palmwag Campsite
Palmwag Campsite is located between Kaokoland and the Skeleton Coast, where the sources of the Uniab River are met by the carpet of rich red sandstone and the flat-topped Etendeka mountains.
The Lodge looks out over the expansive Northern Damaraland environment, which is dotted with verdant Euphorbias, amid swaying Makalani Palms and sturdy Mopane trees that are fed by subterranean water.
Grootberg Lodge
In addition to providing excellent service, beautiful surroundings, delicious food, knowledgeable guides, and first-rate local management, the Grootberg Lodge also aims to use its profits to support the local community.
The two family cabins and fourteen en-suite rock chalets are constructed from the native rocks found in the Grootberg area. In addition to having separate toilets and showers, the bedrooms feature twin or double beds. As part of the décor, local materials are used to decorate the rooms. Small, secluded terraces with two seats each are accessible through sliding doors, offering countless views of Klip Valley Vlei.
A lengthy, arched hallway leads from the main structure to the lounge area, where visitors can unwind. In addition, there is a small bar and traditional wooden dining tables and chairs. Every day, tea and coffee are served. Just outside the main area is the swimming pool.
Omarunga Campsite
The verdant green belt of makalanis and the tiny Kunene River oasis are visible after an earthy, dusty journey with a number of baobabs marking the route.
One of the best spots to pitch a tent, bring chairs and a nice book, and listen to the soothing sound of the river is a campsite along the river.
Etendeka Mountain Camp
Etendeka Mountain Camp is located in the breathtaking slopes of the Grootberg range, surrounded by the historic Etendeka lava flows of northern Damaraland. Here, sporadic boulders rest atop striking, flat-topped mountains where the old basalt has been gradually worn over millennia.
Nature is emphasized here, and this eco-friendly camp is proof of her numerous blessings. Ten meru tents with private bathrooms are available for lodging; these are connected to the main eating tent via walkways. Throughout, solar energy is heavily utilized for general electrical needs as well as in the kitchen and guest restrooms.
However, basic amenities like flush toilets, hot and cold running water, and the gorgeous outdoor bucket showers have not been neglected. Simple, fresh, healthful meals are cooked over open fires or on solar panels and consumed under the African sky.
