Camp Doros

Camp Doros has a remote and beautiful location in Damaraland, a region of Namibia known for its free-roaming black rhino. The deliberately low key camp is hidden away on a 19,000 hectare community owned conservancy, sitting on the bank well above an ephemeral riverbed with great views over the river and scattered mopane trees to the surrounding mountains including the Brandberg, Namibia’s highest. The camp actively supports the communities on whose land it operates.

Accommodation & Facilities
Camp Doros has just six simple but comfortable safari tents set on platforms and shaded by canopies. One tent has two bedrooms for a family, and the tents have en-suite bathrooms with flush loos and running water, and verandahs with seating out front. Much of the furniture and fittings is made from recycled materials, giving the camp an amazingly low environmental footprint in conjunction with its solar power plant and sophisticated waste-water treatment system. The camp has a central mess tent with a dining table, bar and lounge, and there’s a campfire outside, a small plunge pool and a sun deck. Meals are often eaten outside in the sunshine or under the stars.

Wildlife & Activities
The focus of activities at Camp Doros is tracking black rhino with trackers trained by Save The Rhinos Trust. Guests leave camp in the cooler early morning with their guides and trackers and might spend several hours on foot looking for these magnificent but elusive animals. Desert elephant tracking, nature drives, bush walks, tutored star gazing, and exploring rock art sites are also on offer here.
