. We had a “view” bungalow some 50 meters from the main building. The room and its bathroom were huge, beautifully and tastefully decorated and vey comfortable in every respect. But best of all were the windows – almost a complete glass wall – looking out on a stream of wildlife passing. Additionally, there was a terrace with chairs table and loungers also looking over the countryside. Don’t sleep in; wake early and sit in bed with coffee watching the procession of animals.
The main building is like a large barn – but, again, decorated in a fascinating way to make it feel modern and interesting. The dining area, inside and out, was a bit refectory style but good for mixing and the food was faultless. The whole of the rear of the building looks over the plains and a waterhole, so plenty of animals.
We did a wildlife (leopard) tour late afternoon which ended with sundowner drinks to watch a stunning sunset. Sadly the cheetahs have been moved to a different location where they can better thrive, but there is plenty to see – including the leopards. Not to be missed.
Simply the best!

3. Huab Lodge – Eco Friendly Hotels Namibia
They have a swim pool and loungers around the swim pool and loungers on the balcony of the lodges. They have a hot spring which was so lovely to relax in. We mostly had the swim pool and hot spring to ourselves . The lodge is eco friendly. The rooms were very spacious and clean and we all got a double bed each.
There are some wonderful touches in the individual room lodges which give a feeling that the whole team still really care that each guest has a very comfortable experience. The lodges are very spacious with comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms, tea and coffee making facilities, bathrobes, huge fluffy bath sheets and an amazing view from the shower as well as the balcony which each lodge has.
The communal table at breakfast and dinner is quite unique where all guests sit together along with some of the more senior staff to exchange stories. The food is absolutely outstanding cooked by wonderful chefs who introduce the dishes in the local Damara tongue and then put us all to shame by repeating the same in all the native languages of the guests. There are 3 beautiful dogs at the lodge that make the place really feel like a home. The communal eating area/bar/lounge is stunning with great views and a telescope is set up for stargazing. The stars are amazing at night.
The Lodge is very Eco aware and on check in you are informed how to respect the solar generation, conserve the water etc which is really fantastic but please note this means there is no fridge or air con in the lodge as they take too much power.
Huab Lodge is a magnificent creation in the bush and is run by gracious hosts and owners Jan and Suzi van de Reep, both of whom are knowledgeable in the fauna and flora of the area as well as generally. Their staff are welcoming and include Monica (Gogga) and her husband Johan, another Johan the masseur, Jaap and his wife Kathy. Jan takes pride in introducing the wines for the evening meal, and then ensures that glasses are topped up all evening. The kitchen staff are called in to charmingly describe the meal firstly in all the San clicks followed by a description in English. Our meal for the evening was a delicious lamb stew. Guests sit at one table which creates a family atmosphere and much talk ensues of daily experiences.
When Jan bought their Huab property he persuaded two German geologists and a German Vet to purchase adjacent properties giving a combined area of about 8,000 hectares set aside for wildlife development and tourism, and primarily to provide a sanctuary for the desert elephants which were being hounded by encroachment of man. They have Gemsbok, Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra, giraffe, springbok and other antelope. Jan has a great knowledge of fauna and flora and is a great guide.
Most of the staff are keen photographers so numerous albums in the dining room provide interesting viewing including a photograph of Johan holding the tail of a massive python which was trying to engulf one of their dogs. He had to ask a guest to hold the tail of the python while he moved to the python’s head to untangle the coils with some difficulty, and extricate the dog from its clutches. The story had a good ending as same dog walked with us that morning!

Don’t expect niceties like a fridge or kettle but the cabins do have a safe. Although there is no kettle there are tea/coffee provisions and the hotel will deliver hot water (in a thermos) to your door at your chosen time in the morning. Alternatively, get your flask filled the night before, wake up early and sit in an armchair to watch the sunrise over the canyon. Stunning!
Life here revolves around the restaurant/bar/lounge. Food is excellent. Breakfast is usual food and drink but hot dishes – mainly egg – are made to order. For the evening meal there is a set menu with a choice of 2 main dishes. However, if there is something you really don’t like, then tell them in advance (the menu is put out during the day) and they will provide something else for you. Lunch is from a menu, varying from a full meal to sandwiches.
The hotel provides drives into the canyon (payable at the hotel). There are also a couple of walking trails which provide superb views of the canyon. There is also a small swimming pool.
The staff are amazing – so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble.
The hotel provides itself on its eco-friendly ethos.Not a drop of water is wasted. If you go here, remember that the logistics of running such a Lodge mean that sometimes they run out of things!. We were just amazed at how they manage to provide this level of service and quality.

New technology blends with ancient construction methods to create innovative, eco-friendly luxury in the desert, with the camp’s 10 elevated adobe-styled, thatched units (including a family unit).
A spacious, thatched living area is complete with a fireplace, bar, and swimming pool. An open campfire and outdoor ‘boma’ can be enjoyed during calm evenings. Large game is not concentrated year-round here, with the natural cycle of rainfall dictating the seasonal movement of wildlife along the Huab River, which can be explored from camp.
Eco friendly place. Cool and comfortable tents. Boma experience was great (fire, singing staff, nice dinner) and also other activities were nicely done (perfect hiking and elephant tracking).
If you want to experience Damaraland in all its natural form , with basic creature comforts this place is great . One of the oldest eco-resorts , the Damaraland camp has basic beautiful lodges facing the beautiful Damara landscape , very good meals , a good bar selection of SA wines , all inclusive packages and good access to the Elephants in Damaraland . Fabulous staff , notable mention of PATRICIA , Gwen , Rihanna our serving and all purpose staff.
HOWEVER : no wifi , internet or phone access !! So if that’s important and u can’t go off the grid , don’t stay here . Also NO ELECTRICITY OUTLETS , so all charging / hairdryer etc to be done in their common office !! Breakfast early am in the open before the elephant tracking amidst the mountains was awesome.
Damaraland Camp is a very friendly place to stay : welcome and goodbye serenade by the staff (and songs during dinner). Everybody eats together at a large table where friendships are made. Extremely helpful staff, very nice eco-accommodations (no plugins in the room but available at the office) and good cuisine and wines. This small scale lodge offers elephant tracking from up close and personal and sundowners in the desert with beautiful scenery and absolute silence.
This is classed as an Eco lodge so in the winter make sure you are not relying on a nice hot early morning shower AND do make sure your stay is all inclusive as the game drives are pricey and it is definitely not something you could do in your own vehicle.
