Experience Diverse Damaraland at Doro Nawas Camp
Immerse yourself in Namibia’s wild and rugged landscapes with a stay at the Doro Nawas Camp. Amid the dramatic scenery of Damaraland, this unique destination offers cultural immersion, close encounters with desert-adapted wildlife, and a gateway to the region’s ancient history. Guests can glimpse black rhinos, desert-adapted elephants, springbok, oryx, and zebra, discovering a diversity that truly encapsulates the spirit of Namibia. Damaraland offers surreal and other-worldly landscapes and is a highlight for many travellers on their safari in Namibia.
Doro Nawas Camp, located in the heart of Damaraland, provides an accommodation experience like no other. The camp features 16 suites constructed from wood, canvas, and thatch, each opening to desert views in every direction. Respite from the hot Namibian sun comes in the form of an inviting pool and private outdoor showers, while the airy verandas offer a resting place under a blanket of a million stars. The camp can be reached by self-drive travellers and those that intend to travel on a flying safari in Namibia.
Day trips and activities include visiting Twyfelfontein, the Burnt Mountain, the Petrified Forest, and Organ Pipes. Guests can partake 4×4 nature drives, cultural excursions, star gazing and scorpion walks.
In harmony with the surrounding ochres and rusts of the desert, Doro Nawas embraces the natural hues of orange, pink, and gold and adopts an eco-friendly approach to cuisine. Guests can indulge in various dishes using locally grown ingredients in traditional recipes, from fresh BBQ on the rooftop to food cooked on an open fire in the boma.
The camp is a joint venture with the Doro! Nawas Conservancy and a Namibian empowerment company, creating economic opportunities for local communities. This regional partnership serves people and nature, maintaining the spectacular, remote area as a natural, raw, and wild destination. With Doro Nawas Camp, your journey into Namibia’s wilderness is not just a vacation; it contributes to conserving Namibia’s unique wildlife and supporting local communities.
