Wilderness Safaris Desert Rhino Camp – craft meets conservation
Rejuvenated Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp
In Damaraland’s expansive Palmwag Concession, Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp (DRC) had humble beginnings as a research base dedicated to protecting some of Africa’s most precious wildlife: desert-adapted black rhino. Now a thriving partnership between local communities, Save the Rhino Trust Namibia and Wilderness, Desert Rhino Camp remains a beacon of purpose-led partnership, conservation success and one-of-a-kind guest activities in this extraordinary Namib landscape. The protection of specialised desert wildlife drives everything we do at DRC, including the design of the new camp, which is now even more inspired by, and connected to, this remarkable environment.
In 2023, we celebrated 20 years of pioneering partnerships, measurable conservation successes and meaningful guest experiences in Namibia’s desert.
We couldn’t be more thrilled that after two decades of operation in the unforgiving desert landscape, Desert Rhino Camp is being redesigned and rebuilt for greater comfort, inviting more guests to help us protect the Critically Endangered desert-adapted black rhino.
