Camp Kipwe

Country:  Namibia

Location: Damaraland
 
Style: Luxury Lodge

---

Taking advantage of the nearby Aba Huab River, Camp Kipwe is nestled in boulders, facing out onto superb scenery.   

The 9 rooms plus 1 suite are round in shape, with large outside decks to admire the view.   The partially open external bathrooms adjoining the bedrooms have boulder, cement and rock walls, and roofs of rough mopane branches.   Hot water is supplied by wood-burning 'donkey' boilers.

The central area of the camp is raised and comprises 4 thatched domes housing the reception area and curio shop, dining room, lounge and bar and guest toilets, all with amazing views toward the Aba Huab riverbed.   

An outside boma area is an additional venue for fire-cooked meals.   The central sitting area is furnished with wood and cane chairs, a leather couch, rough hewn chunks of wood used as small tables, tree trunk supports and woven lights hanging elegantly from the thatch roofs.

A small swimming pool built into the rocks and a viewpoint allowing 360 degrees of scenic beauty, are 2 attractive outdoor features.   

Activities at the camp include nature drives with the possibility of seeing the desert-adapted elephants in the dry season, Twyfelfontein excursions to the rock engravings and guided walks in front of the camp with Kipwe's experienced guides.
