Camp Kipwe

Aba-Huab River area, Damaraland, Namibia

A lodge built among granite boulders in Damaraland, close to the Twyfelfontein rock art site.

Overview

Camp Kipwe is built directly among a cluster of granite boulders in Damaraland, its rooms tucked between the rocks near the Aba-Huab River and the Twyfelfontein rock art site.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Domed chalets built into and around the surrounding granite boulders, each with a private veranda.

Food & Service

A relaxed, well-prepared dining programme served among the camp’s boulder-strewn setting.

Activities

Visits to the Twyfelfontein rock engravings, desert-adapted elephant tracking along the Aba-Huab riverbed, and scenic drives through Damaraland’s rock formations.

Wildlife & Photography

The area supports desert-adapted elephant, Hartmann’s mountain zebra and, in drier stretches, black rhino.

A Photographer's Note

The camp’s granite boulder setting offers striking, texture-rich compositions distinct from Damaraland’s open plains.

Conservation & Impact

The camp supports community conservancies in the Aba-Huab area, part of Damaraland’s broader communal conservation network.
