Wild, rugged and remote. Wilderness Doro Nawas is found in the Doro !Nawas Conservancy, which covers 412,000-hectares (1,018,074-acres) in the former district of Damaraland, which is now part of the Kunene Region. Set on the edge of the dry Huab River Valley, about 120 kilometres (75 miles) inland from the wild Atlantic Ocean, the camp has glorious views stretching in every direction. It’s the perfect destination from which to venture out and explore geological phenomena, petroglyphs – prehistoric rock engravings – and San rock art at Twyfelfontein, Namibia’s first World Heritage Site.

Wilderness Doro Nawas has spectacular views of the flat-topped mountains of the Etendeka Range, which begins north of the Huab River. The camp comprises 15 canvas and thatch double rooms with en-suite facilities. Each is built on a raised wooden deck, with gravel pathways linking the rooms to the main area. The beds are equipped with wheels to roll out onto the deck for sleep-outs under a canopy of infinite stars.
