Camp Doros

Camp Doros has a remote and beautiful location in Damaraland, a region of Namibia known for its free-roaming black rhino. The deliberately low key camp is hidden away on a 19,000 hectare community owned conservancy, sitting on the bank well above an ephemeral riverbed with great views over the river and scattered mopane trees to the surrounding mountains including the Brandberg, Namibia’s highest. The camp actively supports the communities on whose land it operates.

Accommodation & Facilities
Camp Doros has just six simple but comfortable safari tents set on platforms and shaded from the intense sun by canopies. One tent has two bedrooms for a family, and the tents have en-suite bathrooms with flush loos and running water, and verandahs with seating out front.  Much of the furniture and fittings is made from recycled materials, giving the camp an amazingly low environmental footprint in conjunction with its solar power plant and sophisticated waste-water treatment system. The camp has a central mess tent with a dining table, bar and lounge, and there’s a campfire outside, a small plunge pool and a sun deck. Meals are often eaten outside in the sunshine or under the stars.

Wildlife & Activities
Activities here include on foot tracking of desert-adapted black rhino – a signature of Damaraland – accompanied by information on how they are protected from poachers in this region. Guests on three-night stays can also track desert-adapted elephants, visit rock art sites and go on nature drives and walks.
