This desert reserve has a number of freshwater springs that support healthy populations of animals including desert-adapted black rhino and elephant as well as large populations of the rare Hartmann's mountain zebra, giraffe, gemsbok, springbok and kudu. The predator population is the largest outside the Etosha National Park with lion, cheetah, leopard, and brown and spotted hyaena. Bird life is prolific and diverse with most of Namibia's endemics present. Ancient and strange desert-adapted Welwitschia plants dot the plain in front of the camp. Palmwag Rhino Camp accommodates guests in 7 large East African-styled "Meru" tents, each with an ensuite
bathroom and a classic bucket shower that is filled with hot water whenever needed. Lights are
powered by solar panels and the tented dining room offers uninterrupted views of the desert and mountains.
Activities include rhino tracking on foot or by vehicle as well as day and night nature drives. This freeroaming
population of black rhino is growing in numbers and the area boasts the largest concentration of
rhino outside of a national park. Community game scouts who were employed by the Trust to help with the
patrolling and monitoring all these years are now seconded to the camp and are the trackers and guides. Day 6: Transfer to Windhoek NOTES:
