Camp Kipwe is a unique eco-lodge in the Huab Valley. Nestled among massive granite boulders, it blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings. The lodge’s design takes inspiration from the environment, with natural materials like stone and thatch used to construct its domed, cave-like accommodations. 

The camp’s 12 bungalows and suites all have open-air bathrooms that offer breathtaking views of the star-filled skies and the surrounding terrain while still ensuring privacy. Camp Kipwe also has a 180 degree viewing deck where guests can take in panoramic views of the desert, particularly striking at sunrise and sunset.

Damaraland is home to a wealth of natural and cultural wonders. Activities include the opportunity to explore the dramatic Twyfelfontein rock engravings, a UNESCO World Heritage site showcasing ancient San Bushmen art. Wildlife enthusiasts can track desert-adapted elephants, through bush walks and game drives. At camp, guests can unwind at the picturesque pool, carved into the rocks.

At Love To Explore we would recommend the lodge for these unique selling points:

  • Beautiful, remote setting
  • Range of cultural & wildlife activities 
  • 180 degree sunset and sunrise viewing platform 

“A beautiful, unique camp tucked into a rocky outcrop with incredible views”

FAQs

Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?

The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.

What types of holidays do you specialise in?

Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.

How far in advance should I book a holiday?

There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
