May be the location we stayed was away from the actual action . so we hardly did anything there.

Damaraland is very interesting culturally as you can learn about the Damara people and how they lived. There are also beautiful landscapes, the Grootberg plateau being one of the highlights on my trip. There is also some wildlife, however relatively scarce due to the dry terrain.

Damaraland is rather barren and dusty, the wildlife are the illusive Desert Elephant (which we did not see) however, we were the only people staying at our campsite so had all the facilities to ourselves.

Beautiful scenery, the desert elephant are a must find and the local culture makes this a great destination for the adventurous.

Damaraland was fantastic and the guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lodge was also top notch.

Namibia is more than a safari. I think I would still recommend east Africa for first timers. But Namibia was varied and amazing.

Drier and more desolate area but offered interesting historical sites to visit such as the World Heritage site at Twyfelfontein and the Petrified Forrest.
