If you're looking for an exceptionally remote and incredibly beautiful landscape, Hoanib Valley Camp is the perfect destination for you. The camp seamlessly blends with its surroundings, embracing the rich and warm colors, rough textures, and patterns inspired by the local Hoanib and Himba tribes. All the camp's furnishings, including baskets, chairs, and tables, are locally sourced and crafted by the indigenous people. Moreover, the camp operates entirely on solar power, emphasizing its commitment to eco-friendliness.
The wildlife in the vicinity of the camp is diverse and captivating. From the renowned elephant herds that roam the arid terrain to the elusive desert lions, you'll have the opportunity to encounter a wide range of species. The mountain ranges are inhabited by Zebra, Kudu, and Klipspringers, while springbok, giraffes, and oryx grace the landscape. Morning and afternoon drives offer the chance to search for the elusive black rhino.
In addition to wildlife adventures, you can also visit the local Giraffe Conservation Foundation, a must-see attraction. Dr. Julian Fennesy, one of the camp's partners, is Africa's foremost giraffe expert. Engage in guided nature walks to deepen your understanding of the desert's flora and fauna or partake in cultural visits to interact with the remarkable Himba and Herero tribes.
