Camp Doros

Built from recycled materials and entirely solar-powered, the communal spaces epitomise thoughtful simplicity. The bar, dining room, and lounge cluster around fireplaces perfect for evening storytelling, whilst the campfire deck beckons for stargazing sessions. A small but welcome plunge pool provides relief from Damaraland's heat, and the sun deck offers front-row seats to spectacular sunrises. Meals showcase local ingredients prepared in the solar-powered kitchen, proving that sustainable doesn't mean sacrificing flavour. The separate Wi-Fi lounge keeps connectivity optional rather than intrusive.

Six canvas tents raised on platforms blend seamlessly into the mopane grove, each positioned for maximum privacy and views. Deliberately unfussy, they feature twin or double beds, solar lighting, charging points, and surprisingly decent storage space. En-suite bathrooms boast hot showers and proper flush loos – luxury enough after dusty rhino tracking. The family tent accommodates larger groups, whilst private decks with daybeds become your personal wildlife viewing posts. No televisions or mini-fridges interrupt the wilderness experience either.

Rhino tracking with Save the Rhino Trust rangers forms the heart of every stay – these qualified guides know each animal individually and can read tracks like a well-known book. Nature drives reveal desert-adapted elephants, giraffes, and predators across the 19,000-hectare concession, whilst guided walks reveal geological secrets and smaller wildlife. Three-night stays unlock Twyfelfontein's ancient rock engravings and extended elephant tracking. Evening stargazing showcases Namibia's unpolluted skies, whilst campfire stories from guides reveal conservation successes and local legends. It's adventure with genuine purpose, exactly as it should be.
