Damaraland Desert Elephants Safari
Track desert-adapted elephants through Namibia's most dramatic volcanic landscape
Tour Overview
Damaraland is a vast and dramatic landscape of red rock formations, ancient petrified forests, and open gravel plains where desert-adapted elephants roam free. These remarkable animals travel vast distances between water sources and have evolved unique behaviours to survive in one of Africa's most arid environments. This safari takes you deep into the Huab and Aba-Huab river valleys to track elephant herds with expert local guides. Visit the UNESCO-listed Twyfelfontein rock engravings (dating back 6,000 years), explore the petrified forest, and discover the Organ Pipes geological formation.
