ETENDEKA MOUNTAIN CAMP
the land of the layered hills. The land
of wide open spaces, rugged natural beauty and vistas that go on forever.
The land where time stands still, where the modern world and its cares are
forgotten, where the plants and animals have evolved side by side with
their environment over millennia. The Etendeka Tourist Concession
comprises an area of 45 000 ha in the foothills of the Grootberg on the
edge of the rocky Namibia Desert. The ancient basalt has been eroded into
a dramatic landscape of the flat-topped hills and plains strewn with
weathered boulders.

The concession is part of the
much larger Damaraland where wildlife, living alongside nomadic pastoralists, is truly wild and free to
roam uninhabited. The sighting of Hartmann's mountain zebra, oryx,
springbok, giraffe or perhaps even the desert-adapted elephant or black
rhino may add an exciting bonus to your stay.
|
Evidence of these animals, however, is often seen,
along with less conspicuous inhabitants- reptiles, small mammals, insect
and other arthropods. Many of Namibia's endemic birds occur here, such as
Herero Chat, Montreiro's Hornbill, Ruepell's Korhaan and Rockrunner. An
average annual rainfall of around 100mm supports scattered and often
thick-stemmed deserts-adapted trees and shrubs and varying grass cover.
Here you will meet the "etendeka Big Five" trees.

At Etendeka we strive to be at one
with our environment, bringing you as close to nature as possible without
compromising on safety or comfort. Solar heating and electricity do not
disturb the silence. All plants and animals found around the camp are
indigenous to the area. Each of the ten walk-in ,
shaded tents is provided with
two beds, a wash basin, fresh water, linen and towels. An electric light
and verandah from which to enjoy the view. Water is of high quality, but
in short supply. Flush toilets and hot bush showers are
provided.
|
Access to the camp from the public road is by
4x4 vehicle through rugged terrain. Guests are met at the transfer point.
The transfer, which takes one and a half hours, gives guests a good
introduction to the area - so have camera and binoculars ready. Or a
private air strip is only twenty minutes from camp.
Room rates are usually valid from 01 November - 31 October
