Doro Nawas - Damaraland - The Classic Safari Company

A veritable Garden of Eden

Doro Nawas Camp is a place where rugged beauty meets refined comfort, offering a deeply immersive experience in one of Namibia’s most striking landscapes. Nestled on a rocky hill in the heart of Damaraland, the camp is designed to blend effortlessly with its surroundings, featuring earthy tones, natural materials, and an open-plan design that invites the wilderness in.

The thatched suites are spacious and stylish, with large retractable doors that allow you to roll your bed onto the deck for an unparalleled night beneath the stars. Each suite is equipped with an en-suite bathroom, an outdoor shower, and a private veranda from which to take in the vast, open plains stretching towards the distant Brandberg Mountains.

Beyond the camp, the landscape tells a story of survival and adaptation. Expert guides lead guests on game drives in search of desert-adapted elephants, oryx, and other resilient wildlife that roam this arid terrain. Scenic walks offer the chance to uncover ancient petroglyphs, while cultural visits to the local Damara community provide insight into the traditions and history of Namibia’s indigenous people.

Evenings at Doro Nawas are a celebration of the desert’s tranquillity. Dine under the vast African sky, sip a sundowner on the rooftop terrace, and let the stillness of the landscape wash over you. A stay here is about reconnecting with nature, with history, and with the timeless magic of Namibia’s wilderness.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Jenny Kidd

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

Elizabeth Mackintosh

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor
