Overview

Set in the private Palmwag area of rugged, beautiful Damaraland, Desert Rhino Camp is a luxury tented camp run in conjunction with the Save the Rhino Trust. The camp contributes directly to the Trust, a lifeline for the region's endangered black rhino and is ultimately an important contributor to the sustainability of this vulnerable area and its surprisingly diverse wildlife.

You will share Desert Rhino Camp with dedicated conservationists and local trackers for a unique game viewing experience. The morning and afternoon game drives centre around tracking rhino although there are also healthy populations of antelope, and the predator population is the largest outside of the Etosha National Park with over 100 lion, cheetah, leopard, and brown and spotted hyena resident. Moreover, birding enthusiasts are sure to appreciate the prolific and diverse birdlife in the Palmwag area.

Desert Rhino Camp

"We had great tented accommodations and was very well conceived. The trekking black rhinos on foot was exciting and great exercise. The staff here (led by Daphne) were top notch."

"At Desert Rhino we finally spot a rhino and were able to track him, there is a 50% chance of finding one on their vast reserve. Animal viewing there was very limited but the landscape was beautiful!"

One of the highlights : it was interesting to stay in a tented camp after our very 'comfortable' stay in Purros.. On the second day we went alone with the rhino trackers (since we were the only guests in the camp) a very good experience. In total we saw 5 black rhinos! its worth to stay at least 2 days to give you a chance to see the rhinos. We liked the tented camp experience, and this is where staff and guides were the most friendly during whole trip.
