Doro Nawas Camp

Top choice in Damaraland


Part of the elite Wilderness Safaris portfolio, Doro Nawas is a magnificent place. The thatched rooms are massive and luxurious, the terraces open onto vast views and there's a great mix of excursions, from Twyfelfontein rock art to wildlife drives in search of desert-adapted elephants and lions. Prices are high by Namibian standards, but the quality and service are unimpeachable.
