Desert Rhino Camp
| Desert Rhino Camp - DAMARALAND, NAMIBIA |
 |
|
Desert Rhino Camp is a mobile camp run in conjunction with the
'Save the Rhino Trust’ in the private Palmwag concession
of the rugged northern Damaraland wilderness area in Namibia.
The camp offers a brilliant insight into the ecology and
conservation of this incredible area and at the same time
contributes directly to the Trust and ultimately the sustainability
of this vulnerable area and its wildlife.
The area you will
traverse whilst tracking Black Rhino and other wildlife
is massive, over 450,000 hectares. Desert Rhino Camp
is owned and operated by Wilderness Safaris and its partners,
Jockel and Monica Gruettemeyer. |

Palmwag is a luxury,
tented mobile camp that can be easily moved if local game movements
deem it
necessary. A maximum
of sixteen guests will have
the rare pleasure of exploring this wild and remote area in the company
of the dedicated conservationists hosting them, together with local
trackers. The camp has large “meru” tents with en-suite
facilities including bucket showers with hot water on call.
Activities
Some of the camp activities on offer
are Rhino tracking on foot or by vehicle, night drives and full day
outings (with a picnic
lunch) on the concession.

Wildlife
Palmwag's area includes large populations
of Hartmann’s
Mountain Zebra, Giraffe, Oryx, Ostrich, Springbok and Kudu. The predator
population is the largest outside
of the Etosha National Park with over 100 Lions, Cheetah, Leopard, and
Brown and Spotted hyena. Bird life is prolific and diverse with most
of Namibia’s
endemics present. Of course, the highlight here is that the concession
supports a healthy population of desert adapted Black Rhino and Elephants.
