Damaraland is an experience, and a demonstration of nature's endurance and beauty. An insight into ancient African cultures. It is the utopia of locations, with the advantage as a great base to explore nearby attractions such as the Skeleton Coast, Etosha National Park, and Swakopmund.
The region boasts wildlife that has evolved incredible methods to survive the extreme climate of Namibia. Here you will spot desert-adapted wildlife such as elephants, black rhinos, giraffes, oryx, and more as they navigate the rugged terrains.
Highlights:
Damaraland has a desert climate which makes it a great year-round destination. The best time to spot the desert-adapted wildlife is during the long dry winter season, May - October. With rain virtually absent, the wildlife will congregate around the limited water sources. Clear skies during this season makes for excellent stargazing.
From November to April, it is the wet summer season. There will be greener and more vibrant landscapes, this provides a better time for birdwatching.
Set in some of Namibia’s most iconic landscapes, the lodges in Damaraland are as famous for their views and comfort. Most accommodation are eco-sensitive tented camps, usually in private reserves.
Must See: Twyfelfontein rock art, Burnt Mountain and The Organ Pipes

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!
