Located on the north face of the Haub River valley 90 kilometres from Torra Bay, the camp is situated in a mountainous region of north-west Namibia.
The camp comprises 10 large, en suite, adobe-style thatched units that are raised off the ground, each with a walk-in dressing area and a large deck where you can sit and contemplate the wonders of the desert.
The central spacious living area combines the dining area, bar and fireplace. There is a swimming pool next to the bar.
An open campfire and outdoor ‘boma’ are enjoyed during calm evenings, and stargazing is superb thanks to the crystal-clear night skies.
Activities include nature drives, walks and mountain biking during which guests can see species such as desert-adapted elephant, gemsbok, greater kudu springbok, and occasionally cheetah and black rhino. Interesting flora like euphorbias and shepherd’s trees can also be seen. The area also has some of Africa’s best rock engravings including the famous Twyfelfontein etchings.
Damaraland Camp endeavours to integrate the local community and the environment with sustainable ecotourism, and has won an array of awards including the 2005 WTTC Tourism for Tomorrow Conservation Award, one of the top two global travel environmental awards in the world.

We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
