About Desert Rhino Camp

Desert Rhino Camp is a unique safari camp located in the remote and arid wilderness of northwest Namibia, within the private Palmwag Concession. Operated by Wilderness Safaris, this camp offers a truly exclusive and eco-conscious safari experience. What sets Desert Rhino Camp apart is its focus on rhinoceros conservation, particularly the critically endangered black rhino. Guests have the rare opportunity to track and observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, contributing to vital research and conservation efforts aimed at protecting these iconic animals.

The camp itself is designed to harmonize with its stark desert surroundings. Accommodations consist of comfortable, canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas that offer sweeping views of the dramatic landscapes. Desert Rhino Camp provides an intimate and immersive experience, allowing guests to explore the rugged terrain on guided rhino tracking excursions and other wildlife safaris. Additionally, the camp is actively involved in community-based conservation initiatives, fostering a sense of responsibility for the local environment and the well-being of its neighboring communities. It's an extraordinary destination for travelers seeking both adventure and the opportunity to make a positive impact on Namibia's fragile desert ecosystems.
