Questions about Desert Rhino Camp
How does rhino tracking work here?
Adventurous rhino tracking runs daily from camp, and it is the reason most guests come. The camp grew out of a field station set up to protect Namibia last wild black rhino, and it operates as a collaboration between Wilderness Safaris and the Save the Rhino Trust, so trackers know these animals individually.
Are there age limits for the rhino tracking?
Yes. The minimum age for rhino tracking is sixteen, and thirteen for other walking activities. Children of six and older can be accommodated, but there are no childminding facilities in camp, so a parent or guardian must stay behind with anyone under sixteen while the rest of the party tracks.
What are the suites at Desert Rhino Camp like?
The rebuilt camp has six contemporary canvas and stone suites, including one family unit, set against the vastness of Damaraland. It reads as a sheltered oasis in a starkly beautiful arid landscape, and beyond the rhino there is a surprising amount of arid-adapted wildlife to find.
