Doro Nawas Camp

Doro Nawas Camp is located in Damaraland, approximately 280 km north of Windhoek. From Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH), you can arrange a 4-hour ground transfer via the B1 and C39 highways, or charter a flight taking 1.5-2 hours to nearby airstrips. The camp arranges all transfers and often recommends overnight accommodation in Windhoek to break up the journey.

The best time depends on your priorities. June to September offers the coolest temperatures (20-25°C), minimal rainfall, and concentrated wildlife viewing near water sources, though rates are highest. April-May and October-November provide pleasant weather with fewer tourists and moderate pricing. December-March brings warm temperatures (25-32°C), lush vegetation, and migratory bird arrivals, with dispersed wildlife viewing.

The Fully Inclusive Plus package includes accommodation, all meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), twice-daily scheduled game drives, guided bush walks, park fees, local drinks, and laundry service. Premium imported brands and champagne are excluded and available for additional cost. The rate varies seasonally, ranging from R7,318-R11,351 per person sharing depending on dates.

Yes, Doro Nawas Camp welcomes children of any age. Family rates are available on request and typically offer discounts for children under 12. The camp provides cultural activities, guided bush walks suitable for families, and Twyfelfontein rock art visits that educate and engage younger guests. Advance notice allows the camp to arrange age-appropriate activities and meal options.

Doro Nawas Camp's private concession supports black rhinoceros, elephant, oryx, springbok, and mountain zebra. The region is famous for rhino tracking—a signature activity led by trained guides. While not a traditional Big Five destination (lions and buffalo are rare or absent in Damaraland), the camp offers exceptional opportunities for desert wildlife viewing and bird watching, with over 200 bird species recorded in the region.

Activities include twice-daily game drives (early morning and late afternoon), guided bush walks through desert ecology, visits to Twyfelfontein's UNESCO-listed San rock engravings (2,500+ petroglyphs dating back 2,000 years), scenic drives to geological formations like Burnt Mountain and Organ Pipes, optional night drives, and cultural visits to local Damaraland communities. Scenic flights are available for additional cost.

Doro Nawas Camp does not offer Wi-Fi in rooms or common areas, maintaining an unplugged safari experience. Mobile signal is limited or absent due to the remote Damaraland location. This design intentionally encourages guest engagement with the landscape and wildlife. If connectivity is essential, discuss options with the camp at booking.
