Each unit consists of a bedroom that leads onto a veranda for stargazing or sleep outs.The main area is made up of the indoor and outdoor dining areas, the residential pool area, bar and leads to a small gallery exhibiting Namibian art.

Wildlife viewing at Doro Nawas Camp concentrates on the game found in the riverbed and along the valleys that fill with floodwaters during particularly good rainy seasons. There are no large concentrations of wildlife, but this arid environment is home to desert-adapted elephant, gemsbok, springbok and variety of other species such as bat-eared fox. This includes the occasional glimpse of the endangered black rhino and cheetah. Birdlife is excellent with several Namibian endemics, such as Damara Hornbill, Carp's Tit and Rüpell's Korhaan.
