Camp Doros - Immersive Exploration – Now Open!
Yes, you’ve read that right! We are opening a new camp in Damaraland, which will be called CAMP DOROS.
Much like CAMP SOSSUS in the Namib, CAMP DOROS offers a truly sustainable “back to nature” experience, allowing guests to touch, feel, smell and experience the essence of Damaraland, but with their feet remaining firmly on the rocks that cover this incredible area. This ultimate connection with earth, nature and people, in a very up-close and personal way, gives an intimate and unforgettable experience. Camp Doros is NOT merely an accommodation establishment. It offers a fully inclusive IMMERSIVE EXPLORATION of Damaraland over a minimum of 2 nights, and it should be offered as such.
Whilst staying away from brick and timber buildings and all the luxury paraphernalia associated with those, our aim is still to provide complete comfort while ensuring immersive exploration of Damaraland, by vehicle and on foot. Guests are looked after by some extraordinary people whose only desire is to ensure that each moment spent with us is as perfect as possible. The personal service, incredible food and great attention to detail experienced at our other camps such as ONDULI RIDGE, CAMP SOSSUS , GALTON HOUSE and THE NEST @ SOSSUS will also become standard at Camp Doros. Days are filled with thrilling encounters, and nights are enhanced with memorable experiences beyond most people’s wildest dreams. Our aim is to leave long-lasting impressions and happy memories but, most of all, to offer those life enriching experiences for which we have already become so well known.
Camp Doros is deliberately small and intimate, and it is located in a core area for desert adapted black rhino, with activities largely focused on tracking these rhino with an experienced and qualified Rhino Ranger team. The camp is perched on a high bank overlooking a (generally) dry riverbed and groves of Mopane trees in the heart of Damaraland. Protected from the prevailing winds, the camp carries arguably the lowest environmental footprint of any camp in Namibia. Six shaded guest tents (one of which is a family unit) are raised on platforms and most have twin beds, with some doubles, cupboards, solar power for lighting and 220V charging points, as well as en suite bathrooms with hot running showers and flush toilets. The camp has a spacious common area including bar serving area, dining room, lounge with fireplaces and a campfire deck, as well as a welcome plunge pool and sun deck. There is a focus on personalized service delivery, and this includes hearty and scrumptious meals which are prepared in a largely solar and wood-fired kitchen. The essence of the camp is immersive exploration of this incredible area.
