Hoanib Valley Camp

Set in the heart of Kaokoland, Hoanib Valley Camp offers a rare glimpse into one of Namibia’s most remote and captivating regions. Towering mountains, golden sand dunes, and arid plains stretch in every direction, shaped by time and the elements. This dramatic landscape is also home to the Himba, one of Africa’s last semi-nomadic peoples, whose presence adds cultural depth to the land’s striking natural features. The camp, built in partnership with the local community and the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, reflects a shared commitment to conservation and community upliftment without compromising on comfort or style.
