Etendeka Mountain Camp Damaraland

Accommodation Namibia - Northern Region

Etendeka - the land of the layered hills in Namibia's Damaraland. The land of the wide open spaces, rugged natural beauty and vistas that go on forever. The land where time stands still, where the modern world and its cares are forgotten, where the plants and animals have evolved side by side with their environment over millennia.
Etendeka Mountain Camp NamibiaEtendeka Mountain Camp NamibiaThe Etendeka Tourist Concession comprises an area of 50 000 ha in the foothills of the Grootberg on the edge of the rocky Namib Desert. The ancient basalt has been eroded into a dramatic landscape of flat-topped hills and plains strewn with weathered boulders.
The concession is part of the old Damaraland where the wildlife, living alongside nomadic pastoralists, is truly wild and free to roam uninhibited. The sighting of Hartmann's mountain zebra, Oryx, springbok, giraffe or perhaps even the desert adapted elephant or black rhino may add an exciting bonus to your stay. Evidence of these animals, however, is often seen, along with less conspicuous inhabitants - reptiles, small mammals, insects and other arthropods. Many of Namibia's endemic birds occur here, such as Herero Chat, Monteiro's Hornbill, Ruppell's Korhaan and Rockrunner. An average annual rainfall of around 100mm supports scattered and often thick-stemmed desert-adapted trees and shrubs and varying grass cover. Here you will meet the "Etendeka Big Five" trees.
