Namibia Safaris: DORO NAWAS CAMP

Damaraland ~ Vintage 5 Camp

Doro Nawas is nestled against a small hill on the edge of the dry Aba-Huab River overlooking ancient plains with glorious views of the rugged Damaraland area. The landscape ranges from boulder-strewn floodplains to curious rock formations surrounded by sand dunes. This is prime desert elephant territory and the herds traverse the riverbed daily in search of water and foliage. Guests are housed in 16 natural walled units, the design and décor unique to the surrounding scenery, and attention to comfort and luxury. Each unit consists of a bedroom, en-suite bathroom, outdoor shower and a verandah for stargazing or sleep outs.

There are indoor and outdoor dining areas, a residential pool area, bar and a small gallery exhibiting Namibian art. The lodge provides an excellent base for exploring the local area in game drive vehicles and on foot, combining a luxury safari experience with economic empowerment for the local community. Guests can view Africa's largest collection of petroglyphs - prehistoric rock engravings - and San rock art at Twyfelfontein. The combination of Africa's past and present makes Doro Nawas a fascinating visit.
