Hoanib Elephant Camp is expected to open its doors in May 2026, offering guests an unique opportunity to enjoy a stay and a unique experience in a strategic base for tracking deserted adapted wildlife, including black rhino, elephants, giraffe and lion.

Activities will include nature walks, Skeleton Coast excursions, admiring a desolate and dramatic Atlantic coastline in Namibia, known for its treacherous conditions, shipwrecks and haunting beauty, and stargazing experiences.
A further highlight will be cultural visits to Himba communities, a semi - nomadic pastroralist tribe living in a harsh environment and relying on cattle herding, hunting and gathering for their livelihood, known for their unique cultural practices and traditions including their distinctive red ochre paste, intricate hairstyles, and traditional clothing.
Developed in partnership with the Sesfontein Conservancy, the camp will directly support several conservation initiatives including black rhino relocation programs, desert - dwelling giraffe conservation and a desert lion - early warning conflict mitigation system to reduce human – wildlife conflicts.
As additional information rates will range from approximately $970 to $1.580 per night, and the camp will operate year - round.
