This is one of the nicest camp sites in Namibia, the camp is well shaded from old trees the facilities are generally good and to make everything a little more special during the dry season the desert elephants often bless Aba-Huab with their presence. The site provides ideal accommodation for visitors to Damaraland who wish to visit Twyfelfontein, the Burnt Mountain, organ Pipes and Petrified Forest.
The campsites are situated along the Aba-Huab river bed (nearly always dry as with nearly all rivers in Namibia), the ablution blocks include flushing toilets and some hot showers. All the sites are different but equipment may include fireplaces, tables, benches and taps. A bar is available while a restaurant is in the planning stages.
