Damaraland

Damaraland is a vast, rugged semi-desert wilderness in northwestern Namibia, one of Africa's most dramatic landscapes. The region is home to free-roaming desert-adapted elephants and black rhinos. Ancient Bushman rock engravings at UNESCO World Heritage Twyfelfontein speak to tens of thousands of years of human habitation. The surreal Organ Pipes basalt columns add to the extraordinary geological theatre of this remote African destination.
