ETENDEKA MOUNTAIN CAMP

The 45 000 ha of the Etendeka concession, to the east of the C 43, welcomes a maximum of 16 people in its camp of luxurious tents (2 very comfortable beds, a solar electric lamp, bowls and pitchers as sinks, terrace for sight…). We wash in hot water by filling and suspending a bucket of water using a pulley in a private shower corner. Solar panels save the noise of the generator, and one wakes up to the song of Bokie, the backbakiri gladiator (bokmakierie) who appears to have elected home in Etendeka. Here we come first to observe wildlife, and it is on this point that Dennis Liebenberg has placed the accent after more than 12 years in the service of ecotourism. By creating Etendeka, Dennis is committed not only to protecting the fragile ecosystem of the region, but also to supporting local communities involved in the project and benefiting from tourism revenues. The guided steps allow to observe mammals such as zebras mountains, oryx, springbok and, for the most fortunate, desert elephants and black rhino, but also to immerse ourselves from the mysterious atmosphere of the Damaraland and to open our eyes to the wonders of the flora of this arid biome. Activities: Game drives, stairs, astronomical observation.
