Why Visit Damaraland?

Untamed beauty where wildlife and culture meet

​​Damaraland is a huge, untamed, ruggedly diverse and beautiful region with prehistoric water courses, open plains, grassland, massive granite kopjes and deep gorges. Along the coastal belt, the geography has vast sand areas that are able to sustain small, but wide-ranging, populations of desert-adapted elephant, black rhino, giraffe, ostrich and springbok. Elephant and rhino move through euphorbia bush country.

➡ Elephant Tracking

Desert-adapted elephant tracking. The elephants are found as far south as the Ugab River, which runs past the town of Uis and the Brandberg massif and range all the way up into the Kunene (Koakoland/Koakoveld) region.

➡ Namibia's Highest Mountain

The Brandberg "fire mountain" - Namibia's highest mountain and home to the famous 'White Lady' Bushman Painting.

➡ Rocky Outcrops

Twyfelfontein "the doubtful spring" - a wonderful rocky outcrop with thousands of Bushman engravings and paintings.

The Organ Pipes - a dolerite rock formation close to Twyfelfontein in a small and easily-accessible gorge

➡ Forests

The Petrified Forest and its 200-million year old trees.

➡ Mountains

Burnt Mountain - very close to the Organ Pipes, this flat-topped mountain gets its name from the piles of blackened limestone.

➡ Museums

Damaraland Living Museum - see how the Nama people lived traditionally on a two-hour visit to this reconstruction of village life.
