Love To Explore Rating: Buisness Class
Desert Rhino Camp, in Damaraland, is a haven for conservation and adventure. This eco-lodge is set amidst rolling hills, rocky outcrops, and vast open plains in one of Namibia's most pristine and rugged landscapes. It is renowned for its pioneering efforts in the conservation of the critically endangered black rhino, which has led to an 80% reduction in poaching in the area. Guided by expert trackers and in collaboration with Save the Rhino Trust, guests can locate and observe free-roaming rhinos on foot or by vehicle. Beyond rhino tracking, guests can explore the concession’s diverse wildlife, including desert-adapted elephants, lions, and giraffes.
The camp itself exudes a rustic yet contemporary feel, with six spacious Meru-style tents offering private verandas and panoramic views of the vast desert landscape. A central lounge and dining area serve as a retreat where guests can enjoy wholesome meals and unwind after a day of activities. At night, the star-studded skies provide a magical backdrop for dinner and a refreshing drink.
Desert Rhino Camp is it’s a testament to the collaboration between sustainable tourism, conservation, and Namibia’s incredible wildlife.

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.
