The Camp

Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp

Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp is tucked into the boulders of a granite outcrop in the Aba-Huab River valley in Damaraland. The Twyfelfontein rock engravings are only about ten minutes away by car, and the Damara Living Museum is close by.

There are 24 tents in two styles: twelve standard tents with an open bathroom and a shaded terrace, and twelve premium tents with a larger bedroom and an en-suite bathroom. Guests of both share the main areas, with pools, a restaurant, a bar and lounges that look out over the mopane valley and the granite mountains.

Save time for the camp's sundowner spot at the end of the day. Guests staying two nights or more can join the Huab nature excursion, a drive along the dry Huab River with a picnic lunch, looking at the rocks and, with luck, the desert-adapted elephant.
