Doro Nawas
Resting on the edge of the dry Aba Huab River in the Doro Nawas Conservancy, Doro Nawas is a relaxed, solar powered camp with wide open views. Sixteen wood, canvas and thatch rooms, including one family unit, have airy verandas that double as star beds. As a joint venture with the conservancy, your stay supports the local community. Nature drives and guided walks explore tabletop outcrops, small canyons, dry riverbeds and golden savannah, with easy access to UNESCO listed Twyfelfontein rock engravings.

Highlights & Activities.
Join nature drives by day and at night to take in dramatic desert scenery, then slow down on guided walks that focus on tracks, plants and geology. Visit Twyfelfontein’s rock engravings, a UNESCO site, and add the Petrified Forest, Burnt Mountain and Organ Pipes. After dark, take a short, guided stroll for nocturnal critters, then roll out your bed on the veranda for a memorable sleep out under Namibia’s stars. Back at camp, enjoy private dinners, panoramic viewpoints and easy stargazing in skies that are famously clear.
