Days 3 - 6

Namibrand Nature Reserve

Days 9 - 11

Damaraland

An intimate and remote bush lodge in. the starkly beautiful Twyfelfontein region, home to many ancient Bushman etchings. The 9 specially-designed rooms are unique and private, with outdoor bathroom, thatched roofs and spectacular views.

The Fort will surprise you at every corner; a classical African feel combined with a touch of Moroccan and Indian flavors, characterized by a selection of beautiful antique windows and doors.

Gently nestled into the contouring landscape, twelve luxurious suites offer unrivalled comfort and seclusion against a backdrop of camelthorn trees, wild sage and an endless blue sky.
