Hoanib Elephant Camp

Namibia's rugged desert landscape awaits, where ancient mountains rise from dry riverbeds and endless arid plains unfold before you. Hoanib Elephant Camp places you centre stage in the wild north-west region of Kunene, where desert-adapted animals roam freely. From here, picture a scene from an epic adventure film: a dust cloud rises behind your game vehicle as you scan the terrain through binoculars, anticipation building for sightings of lions and elephants.

The camp hugs the nearby rockery, its design intended to blend seamlessly into the environment, with desert stretching in every direction. Elegantly understated, with rammed-earth walls and insulated canvas roofs, yet opulent in comfort, complete with raised decks and private plunge pools. Solar-powered facilities and eco-conscious construction are designed to reduce your footprint on the earth. 

Adventurers might hop aboard a desert vehicle to explore the Skeleton Coast, where fog-shrouded beaches frame shipwrecks whose rusted bows tell a haunting story, while leisure travellers sit back and soak in sunset views over the seasonally flowing, though mostly dry, Hoanib River with a glass of red in hand. Limited tourism preserves a sense of remoteness and intimacy at any time of year.
