Arriving at the camp, accommodation for 2 nights, with full board.
Damaraland is characterized by its different colors, rock formations and exotic-looking vegetation. The current landscape was formed by the erosion of wind, water, and geological deposits that formed hills, dunes, gravel plains, and ancient river terraces. The variety and isolation of the area, as well as the splendid landscape, surprise, giving an authentic understanding of the word “desert”.
Weather permitting, in the afternoon the guide takes you to visit the prehistoric geological attractions and rock carvings of Twyfelfontein (recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
DAY 7: DAMARALAND
After breakfast, regular 4WD ride along the Aba Huab and Huab River valleys to explore this remarkable region, including desert elephants, if they are in the area.
Damaraland is home to a variety of wildlife that has adapted to the environment. Because elephants are most active in the mornings, it's usually easier to see before returning to camp for lunch.
Free time for a hike in the local area with the guide or simply relax at the campsite.
