Desert Rhino Camp

Set in a wide valley, accommodation at Desert Rhino Camp is in the form of 8 Meru-style canvas tents which sleep up to 16 guests. Raised from the ground on a wooden deck, each tent features an en-suite bathroom with a hand basin, flush toilet and shower. Beds are made up with crisp, white linen and have two dark wood bedside tables with wicker reading lamps. An extension of the deck functions as a front verandah where guests can relax in director's chairs to take in the magnificent vistas of the surrounding desert and Etendeka Mountains. Additionally, each room has an electronic combination safe, a loud emergency alarm, insect repellant spray & mosquito. Extra duvets are available for the sometimes frosty nights.

The tented restaurant and lounge area of Desert Rhino Camp is raised on a wooden deck in a single tent which is open plan and has partially open sides offering panoramic views. To one side there are couches and to the other a large, simple dining table. Evening meals are taken around the fire pit, in front of the lapa, where guests can relax and socialize.

Bird life is prolific and diverse with most of Namibia's endemics present.
