Designed for desert wanderers

A place where intrepid travellers find comfort in one of the last untouched places on Earth and some of the world’s rarest animals find peace and protection – this is Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp.

Your stay at Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp directly contributes to the ongoing quest for survival that these animals face. It’s a safari experience where every moment is intrinsically linked to community and conservation.

Purpose

Desert Rhino Camp Namibia Purpose

Protecting black rhinos

Amongst dramatic flat-topped mountains, wind-sculpted sandstone cliffs, and dry riverbeds, only the toughest survive. And through our conservation efforts, and our voyager guests, we’re helping them do so. At Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp, we’ve partnered with three local community conservancies and Save the Rhino Trust Namibia, to defend, preserve, and expand these iconic desert wilds.
