Desert Rhino Camp

In a wide valley sometimes flush with grass, Desert Rhino Camp lies in the enormous Palmwag Concession, where trackers patrol and protect one of the largest free-ranging populations of Critically Endangered desert-adapted black rhino in Africa. Rhino tracking on foot and by vehicle with these dedicated men is a unique and exclusive wilderness experience; other activities include exploring the area on full-day outings, nature drives and walks.

The camp has eight comfortable Meru-style tents and a main area that overlooks a sweeping plain dotted with Namibia’s national plant, the welwitschia. The campfire encourages inspired storytelling under Namibia’s star-studded skies.

Desert Rhino Camp is run in conjunction with the local community and Save the Rhino Trust. Thus, in addition to guests gaining amazing insight into the ecology and conservation of this area, a portion of their revenue goes to the Trust and its conservation operations.
