Why we Love Damaraland Camp

Damaraland Camp is situated in the Huab River Valley, arguably the most pristine Emporium-Safari area in Namibia, 90km from Torra Bay in the Torra Conservancy.

The Huab River Valley lies in one of the best Emporium-Safari areas in Namibia, offering endless vistas of plains, valleys and mountains. Emporium-Safari Damaraland Camp is run in partnership with the Torra Conservancy and visits to the local farmstead reveal the fruits of this very positive relationship.

Each of the ten spacious en-suite, adobe-style thatched accommodations (including a family unit) has a large private viewing deck. New technology and ancient knowledge makes for an ultra-light footprint; nature drives and guided walks offer sights of desert-adapted wildlife, ancient rock-art and striking geological formations. Astonishing night skies round out each day’s experiences.

Probably the best City hotel weve stayed at. Alal Gogo was particularly outstanding. He managed to arrange for us to attend the Woody Allan Band show with our guest (who is a musician) even when it had been booked out and was very courteous throughout. Thank you so muclh. A wonderful stay.
