Damaraland is an experience, and a demonstration of nature's endurance and beauty. An insight into ancient African cultures. It is the utopia of locations, with the advantage as a great base to explore nearby attractions such as the Skeleton Coast, Etosha National Park, and Swakopmund.
The region boasts wildlife that has evolved incredible methods to survive the extreme climate of Namibia. Here you will spot desert-adapted wildlife such as elephants, black rhinos, giraffes, oryx, and more as they navigate the rugged terrains.
Highlights:
Damaraland has a desert climate which makes it a great year-round destination. The best time to spot the desert-adapted wildlife is during the long dry winter season, May - October. With rain virtually absent, the wildlife will congregate around the limited water sources. Clear skies during this season makes for excellent stargazing.
From November to April, it is the wet summer season. There will be greener and more vibrant landscapes, this provides a better time for birdwatching.
Set in some of Namibia’s most iconic landscapes, the lodges in Damaraland are as famous for their views and comfort. Most accommodation are eco-sensitive tented camps, usually in private reserves.
Must See: Twyfelfontein rock art, Burnt Mountain and The Organ Pipes

This Travel Firm is Ready for You!
We have completed the preliminary reservations with this amazing travel firm. Thank God they exist! We would never have been able to figure out how to put the pieces of our trip to AFRICA together without them. They are patient, caring, detailed, and responsive to communications…something you expect, but do not always receive when service is involved. Connect with them via email if you are even thinking about going to Africa. Cheers!

First time to Cape Town
We are a group of ten friends traveling together to Cape Town for the first time. Safari.com was our top choice for travel agents. Leché and Tracy were incredibly helpful and prompt with our questions and bookings. The trip to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve was fantastic, and everything went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Safari.com for your safari plans!

Safari booking
Fadiel was very prompt in responding to my emails. Despite a double booking for our Safari - not his fault - everything worked out well in the end.
