Damaralands vast open spaces offer a wealth of photo-worthy attractions – from alien-like desert views to dramatic rock formations and swarths of wilderness with not another person in sight. One of the region’s greatest draws is its desert-adapted elephants and the ancient rock paintings hidden in Namibia’s highest mountain, Brandenburg.

Alongside desert elephants, Damaraland is also home to desert-adapted rhinos, where you can find a globally significant population of black rhinos free-roaming its stark landscape. For those with a real interest in conservation, you may wish to spend a day on the road with the conservation teams tracking and documenting the rhino numbers throughout the region – a truly fascinating experience.

In addition to its natural wonders, Damaraland has deep-rooted ties to human history. Visitors can seek out ancient petroglyphs and rock carvings, or meet the wonderfully unique indigenous inhabitants who have made a seemingly inhospitable part of the world their home.

Tucked away in this desert wilderness is a selection of luxury lodges and camps, each offering adaptive amenities to suit the wild environment.

The Dry Season

May to September
These are the dry winter months in the region. During this period, nights can be very chilly, but days are pleasant and game viewing is excellent. This is due to animals congregating around water sources.

The Green Season

October to April
October is marked by extremely high temperatures and increased humidity for the build-up to the rains in November. The latter shoulder months of late march and April in this rainy season can be lovely and are a great time to spot baby animals and migratory bird species.
