Southern Damaraland is easily reached by any vehicle on good roads, but it becomes more remote and challenging the farther north you travel. Damaraland covers a large region and has a number of areas worth visiting. If you are traveling from the capital, Windhoek, driving times range from 3 to 6 hours*, depending on where you’re going.

There are no domestic flights to Damaraland. Most visitors to the northern section fly to one of the lodges by charter flight. These flights usually leave from Eros Airport (ERS) in Windhoek.

Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) is where most visitors will enter Namibia. The airport is 40km/25mi east of Windhoek.

*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
