The huge Palmwag concession area is located within the Kunene region of northwest Namibia between Etosha and the Skeleton Coast. A truly wild and scenic area, this is as far as most self-drive safaris will venture before acquiring the assistance of a local expert guide from one of the lodges or camps.
The whole concession offers an abundance of space and an intoxicating landscape, however, the main attraction is the fascinating game viewing of the desert-adapted wildlife, ranging from the endemic Hartmann’s mountain zebra, desert elephant, lion, cheetah, giraffe, gemsbok and springbok, to the exciting possibility of black rhino.
There are some very cool places to stay and experience this fascinating region:
Luxury tented camp, superb guiding and rhino tracking: Rhino Camp.
Pristine and remote desert camp: Hoanib Camp.
Good value, old-style lodge: Palmwag Lodge.
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.
