Damaraland
A rugged semi-desert landscape of ancient rock formations, desert-adapted elephants, and 6,000-year-old rock engravings — Namibia's most scenically dramatic region.
Highlights
Best Time to Visit
May to October for cooler temperatures and best elephant tracking along dry riverbeds. Summer (November-March) is extremely hot but occasional rain transforms the landscape. Twyfelfontein is accessible year-round.
Budget Guide
Community campsites $15-30/night. Mid-range lodges $100-300/night. Luxury (Damaraland Camp, Mowani Mountain Camp) $400-1,200/night. Desert elephant tracking excursions $50-100/person. Twyfelfontein entry $5/person. Self-drive requires a 4x4 for most of the region.
Getting There
5-6 hours from Windhoek to Twyfelfontein by road (partially gravel). Located between Etosha and the Skeleton Coast on the classic Namibia circuit. Light aircraft connect to nearby airstrips. A 4x4 is essential for reaching most lodges.
