Secluded lodge tucked between red mountains amidst swaying palms and untamed wilderness
Where the deep red rocks of the Etendeka mountains meet the fleeting streams of the Uniab River in northern Damaraland, lies Palmwag Lodge. The slow rhythm of life at the lodge will hypnotise, starting with crisp mornings and ending with evenings under the starry skies. Guests can embark on guided hikes, a sleep-out, or an afternoon drive through the 550.000 ha Palmwag Concession. The vast Palmwag Concession aims to protect a myriad of wildlife species, including lion, desert-adapted elephants, and endangered black rhino. Palmwag Lodge works in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism and Save the Rhino Trust to protect this area’s unique environment and its natural heritage.

You’ll be relieved to hear that the dramatic and glorious Damaraland is a year-long destination! However, the best time to visit is in May through to September, due to animals frequenting waterholes, so you’ll be spoiled with especially rare sightings. If you want Damaraland all to yourself, avoid visiting in July to September when some places can get rather busy. From October to January things can get heated during the day, so come prepared with clothes to stay cool and enough water to hydrate you during your daily experiences!
