Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp has undergone a complete rebuild and has officially reopened to guests.
According to Wilderness, the camp was more than 20 years old, which prompted the company to undertake the rebuild. The new camp still maintains the values of conservation and sustainability.
“After months of careful planning, hard work, passion and grit, we are delighted to reveal this remarkable new camp, and to continue driving conservation tourism,” said Alex Henderson, MD of Wilderness Namibia.
Set in the Damaraland region of Namibia, Desert Rhino Camp now runs entirely on solar power and the materials from the previous facilities have been used to build staff housing for the new camp.
The camp features large fabric roofs and locally sourced stones in its architecture. Six suites are made of canvas and stone, with ecological sensitivity in mind. The camp’s interiors aim to reflect the copper-coloured earth and red rocks of the landscape with a combination of stone, timber and leather.
Guests can track Namibia’s Black rhinos and actively contribute to the conservation of the species.
