The Etendeka Camp is situated in a private tourist concession covering 1500 km2 of rocky semi-desert called the Pro-Namib in Damaraland, Namibia. The ancient basalt has been eroded into a landscape of flat topped hills and plains strewn with weathered boulders. Beautiful crystals occur in cavities in the basalt, but may not be collected.
This Namibian region receives an unreliable annual rainfall of 120mm. Stunted trees, many thick-stemmed desert-adapted trees and shrubs and varying grass cover can bee found. Because of the unpredictability of the rainfall in Damaraland in Namibia, sighting game is also unpredictable.
Access to the Etendeka Mountain Camp from the public road is by four wheel drive vehicle through rugged terrain. The transfer from the landing strip or parking area takes one and a half hours and gives guests an introduction to the area, so have camera and binoculars ready
