Damaraland is Namibia at its wildest — a place where rugged mountains rise out of arid plains, desert-adapted elephants roam free, and centuries-old rock engravings whisper stories of a time gone by. This is a land of striking contrasts, raw natural beauty, and extraordinary solitude that invites you to slow down and truly connect with the earth.
closer look at
Nestled between the Skeleton Coast and Etosha, Damaraland is an unspoiled wilderness known for its dramatic landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Here, burnt-orange mesas and petrified forests coexist with ancient valleys carved by time and wind. The region is also home to unique geological formations like the Organ Pipes and the towering Brandberg Mountain, Namibia’s highest peak.
Get inspired
Damaraland offers a truly off-the-beaten-path experience where nature and culture converge. Track rare desert-adapted elephants and black rhinos, explore UNESCO-listed rock art at Twyfelfontein, or learn about the traditions of the semi-nomadic Himba people. Every visit to Damaraland feels like a personal expedition — remote, meaningful, and rich in discovery.
Damaraland’s lodges are built to reflect the landscape — low-impact, eco-conscious, and designed to immerse you in the stillness of the desert.
