NATURAL BEAUTY
In the foothills of the Grootberg Massif, Etendeka Mountain Camp offers simple comfort amidst the rugged beauty of northern Damaraland.
Small and rustic, the focus at Etendeka is entirely on immersing yourself in the natural beauty that surrounds you – a world of rocky plains, flat-topped mountains and ancient basalt lava flows. On morning walks and afternoon game drives, you’ll discover that this seemingly inhospitable environment is actually bursting with life. Expert guides will help you to identify animal spoor, rare plant species and the region’s exciting birdlife.
The camp itself has a traditional feel. Guests are accommodated in just a handful of simple tents with eco-friendly, open-air bucket showers. Dining is a communal affair, with fresh, home-cooked meals prepared on open fires and enjoyed under the stars. For keen stargazers, Etendeka has its own telescope that guests are free to use to admire the constellations.
