Overview & Location

Ideal for nature-lovers, this peaceful campsite comprises 18 spacious sites, each with its own power-point, light, wash basin, fireplace and private ablution facilities. Being in touch with nature, while having all the luxuries of civilisation at your fingertips remains one of the finest experiences on the planet.

At Palmwag Campsite, the camper has ample choices. Partake in the many activities in the wildlife-rich Palmwag Concession, take a dip in the swimming pool and have a bite to eat at the pool bar, retreating to your outdoor home at your leisure to soak up Kaokoveld peace.

Elephants, drawn by the water in the Uniab River, have been known to venture through the lodge grounds and campsite at night, so keep eyes open for pachyderm friends. Delight in the rugged Damaraland beauty with its authentic Namibian loveliness that reaches places deep inside.

Whether Palmwag Lodge and Camp is a destination on its own, or a stop en route from the coast and Etosha to Epupa Falls and Kaokoland, it’s an ideal place to pop up the rooftop tent, sit around the campfire, explore the concession area and fall asleep to the gentle lullabies of Mother Nature.
