The survival of Damaraland and the Torra Conservancy depends on co-existence and conservation.
The farmers and community have been returned to their homeland and together with Wilderness Destinations, they created and manage this beautiful lodge in the Huab River Valley, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy this breathtaking land full of geological wonders and desert-adapted wildlife.
Located 90 km from the Skeleton Coast and only 100 km away from the Brandberg Mountain, which is the focal point of the view from Damaraland Camp.
It is situated close to the World Heritage Site of Twyfelfontein, where ancient rock art can be seen.
