Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp
Among the rolling boulders of an ancient granite outcrop, Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp is a secluded, intimate camp in the deserts of Damaraland, untainted by modernity. The camp is unfenced and close to a watering hole, so animals wander freely. There’s no better place to get back to the basics and reconnect with nature’s simple majesty. With only 12 tents, the camp has a very cosy, yet open and airy feel. Only a short distance away are the Twyfelfontein Rock Engravings, the Damara Living Museum and the Huab River Valley.

Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp is a relatively new camp, opening in 2019, and is intending to expand.
In Damaraland, May-October make up the winter dry season; November-April make up the summer wet season. May-August see the driest but coolest conditions, and temperatures begin to rise in September and October. The area sees the most rainfall between January and March, so can be very humid. Because water is more scarce in the dry season and the weather is cooler, animals will congregate around known watering holes, such as the one near the camp, making for the best wildlife viewing.
The camp consists of 12 rustic en-suite tents, with 3 additional igloo tents if needed. All tents are furnished with 2 twin beds, bedside tables, simple clothes storage and open bathroom. Outside, there is a shaded deck with seating.
Embark on a scenic nature drive in the ephemeral Huab River and surrounding valley, home to Namibia’s desert elephants and rhinos. Guests will have the chance to see the unique geological formations of the region as well as the delicate balance of human presence and wildlife conservation.
