Desert Rhino Camp, previously
called Palmwag Rhino Camp, is a mobile camp run in conjunction with the ‘Save the Rhino Trust’ in the private Palmwag area of the rugged northern Damaraland. The camp offers a brilliant insight into the ecology and conservation of this incredible area and at the same time contributes directly to the Trust and ultimately the sustainability of this vulnerable area and its wildlife. The area we traverse whilst tracking Black Rhino and other wildlife is massive, over 450,000 hectares.
This is a luxury tented mobile camp that can be easily moved if local game movements deem it necessary. A maximum of twelve guests will have the rare pleasure of exploring this wild and remote area in the company of the dedicated conservationists hosting them, together with local trackers. The camp has large “meru” tents with en-suite facilities including bucket showers with hot water on call.
There are large populations of Hartman’s mountain zebra, giraffe, oryx, springbok and kudu. The predator population is the largest outside of the Etosha National Park with over 100 lions, cheetah, leopard, brown and spotted hyena. Bird life is prolific and diverse with most of Namibia’s endemics present. This concession supports a healthy population of desert adapted black rhino and elephants.
Some of the camp activities on offer are rhino tracking on foot or by vehicle, night drives and full day outings (with a picnic lunch) on the concession.
