Doro Nawas is ideally located in near to Twyfelfontein in central Damaraland, where ancient rock art engravings left by the San bushmen are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Accommodation consists of 16 rooms – a mix of stone and canvas walls with wood and glass doors, shaded by a thatch roof. Designed to blend into the hillside, each one consists of a bedroom, en suite bathroom (with outdoor shower) and verandah for stargazing or sleeping out. The main area – with indoor and outdoor dining areas, pool, bar and a curio shop – perches on top of a rocky knoll with all-round views. A staircase leads up to a flat roof – a perfect spot for sundowners.
The innovative design and décor fits perfectly with the surrounding rugged and dramatic landscape, and the camp makes a comfortable base from which to explore the area and see desert-adapted elephants. Although there are no large concentrations of wildlife, you can see other desert dwelling species such as springbok, gemsbok (oryx), kudu, ostrich, and predators such as cheetah and bat-eared fox. Other sites of interest within easy reach include the Petrified Forest, Brandberg Mountain and the Organ Pipes rock formation.
