As with other destinations, accommodation in Namibia ranges from simple tented camps to luxury lodges, but it is the location of your camp which will be far more memorable than your bedroom! Camp designers have made the most of the dramatic landscapes, to ensure stunning views as far as the eye can see, across wide open spaces, tangerine coloured sand dunes, or the blonde desert grasses of Damarland.
