Etendeka Mountain Camp (4*)

Etendeka Mountain Camp (4*) is located in the foothills of the Grootberg massif, in stunning scenery set amidst the ancient Etendeka lava flows of northern Damaraland.  Here the ancient basalt has been slowly eroded over millennia, leaving scattered boulders lying upon dramatic flat-topped mountains. The emphasis at the Etendeka Mountain Camp is on Nature,  this eco-friendly camp bears testimony to many riches. Accommodation is in ten en-suite meru tents, which are connected by pathways to the main dining tent.  Extensive use is made of solar power throughout, both in the kitchen and the guest bathrooms, as well as for general electricity requirements. Necessary comforts have not been overlooked though, and these include flush toilets, hot-and-cold running water and the stunning open-air “bucket” shower.  Simple, fresh, wholesome meals are prepared, either on solar or on open fires, and enjoyed under African skies.All are relatively simple, and protected by a thatched roof.  Your days here are spent exploring the area on foot and in open game drive vehicles with the exceptionally knowledgeable guides.  This is not a fast paced safari, but rather a privileged introduction to an environment that holds many of Namibia’s unique natural attractions.
