Gorgeous landscapes!!! I never saw the desert elephants, but saw signs of them. Someday I hope to return!

A spectacular setting to Mowani Camp and such interesting interaction with the Damara at their museum, as well as seeing the rock art at Twyfelfontein. The desert elephants were such a highlight

Astonishing beauty, endemic birdlife and rhinos and elephants to be found. Fascinating people. Perfectly wild and rugged.

I spent five days in Damarland and was able to see much wildlife including the desert elephants and a pride of lions. The scenery was gorgeous and the camp I stayed in was excellent

Here you can meet with the Desert elephant and many other animals. Beautiful mountain ranges and scenery.

If you have not the chance to visit the San people (Bushman), then listen carefully when they speak, all with click. The Sptizberg is great.

Damaraland is beautiful purely because of the starkness

Damaraland is interesting for its strange landscape, with conical hills scattered over the countryside. I'm told that Namibia is the part of Africa that was once connected to South America before the continent split off, so this geological event can be seen in the landscape. In terms of wildlife, other than the seals on Cape Cross, the wildlife here is mainly in the form of reptiles such as desert chameleons, lizards, snakes or spiders. What mammals there are in the desert are small, like mice.

Damaraland is rather barren and dusty, the wildlife are the illusive Desert Elephant (which we did not see) however, we were the only people staying at our campsite so had all the facilities to ourselves.
