Desert Rhino Camp

Desert Rhino Camp is situated in the 450,000 hectare Palmwag Concession in Damaraland in northwest Namibia, between Etosha and the Skeleton Coast – few places on the planet can offer this level of privacy and wilderness experience. Desert Rhino Camp is run in conjunction with the ‘Save the Rhino Trust’ a non-profit conservation organisation that has been working in this area for 20 years. The Trust has been singly responsible for helping to ensure that these rare, desert adapted black rhino survived the slaughter that went on throughout other parts of Africa in the 80s and 90s. Located in Northern Damaraland it offers a brilliant insight into the ecology and conservation of this area while at the same time contributing to the Trust, the Rhino conservation operations as well as the sustainability of the region. Today this population of black rhino is growing in numbers and the area boasts the largest concentration of rhino anywhere on the planet outside of a national park. Community game scouts who were employed by the Trust to help with the patrolling and monitoring all these years are now seconded to the camp and are the trackers and guides. A portion of every guest’s revenue goes to the Trust.
