Desert Rhino Camp

Desert Rhino Camp

Damaraland

You'll have an extraordinary adventure at Desert Rhino Camp, located in the heart of Namibia's Damaraland. This remote offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the magic of the African wilderness while contributing to the conservation of the critically endangered black rhino.

Surrounded by the vast and arid beauty of the Damaraland, the camp provides a truly authentic safari experience. You can go out on game drives, guided by expert trackers, in search of the elusive black rhino. For the ultimate encounter, join a walking safari and experience the thrill of tracking these magnificent creatures on foot.

The camp itself is a blend of comfort and wilderness. The eight stylish and spacious tents are set on wooden platforms and have en-suite facilities with solar-heated. Relax by the pool, unwind with a refreshing drink, or simply soak up the breathtaking scenery. The dining room is also under canvas and has a large dining table where everybody eats together.

Beyond the thrill of wildlife encounters, Desert Rhino Camp offers a chance to connect with the local community and learn about their deep-rooted culture. Immerse yourself in the magic of the African night sky as you gather around the campfire, sharing stories and experiences with fellow travellers.

This camp is located in Pat Busch Mountain Reserve just outside Robertson and set in spectacular mountain fynbos with streams, mountain dams, birdlife, and various animals such as bucks, fallow deer, Nguni cows, and even a very shy leopard. 

There are 10 glamping tents in total, are tucked away in the Cape fynbos and look out over a rolling green valley with the Langeberg as a gorgeous backdrop. 

There are several walking trails, good bird watching, fishing for bass, and swimming and paddling in the farm dam. The sparkling nine-meter swimming pool, fringed by a rolling green lawn is also perfect for a refreshing dip. The reserve forms part of the Klaasvoogds West foothills in the Langeberg Mountain between the towns of Robertson & Montagu. With over 160 years of history, Robertson has grown into one of the most attractive Cape Winelands towns, with Victorian buildings, jacaranda-lined streets, and vineyards banked with beautiful roses. You can take wine tasting to a whole different level by taking the Viljoensdrift River Cruise including a gourmet picnic on the tranquil waters of the Breede River.

Champagne Valley is located in the Central Drakensberg, KwaZulu-Natal. The mountain range stretches an impressive 190 miles between Lesotho and down through KwaZulu-Natal. The sheer scale of the Drakensberg can only be experienced first-hand, whether you seek the reward of the views from the top or are perfectly happy unwinding to the views of the mountains in the distance. 

It's a hiker's paradise, with the popular Monk's Cowl entrance to the Maloti-Drakensberg National Park only a short distance from the camp. Apart from hiking, the area boasts an array of other outdoor activities including birding, mountain biking trails, hot air ballooning, ziplining, horse riding, golfing, beer tasting, and chocolate tasting. On the farm, explore the forest where various bird species can be spotted, unwind at the eco farm pool soaking up the mountain views, or recharge from the comfort of your private outdoor wood-fired hot tub. 

The Drakensberg is home to the highest mountain peaks in the country and has been declared a World Heritage site. The flat-topped Cathkin Peak (3,149 m) and Champagne Castle (3,248 m) are two of these peaks, and the valley below it is referred to as Champagne Valley.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
