DAMARALAND
Where the desert elephants roam
Damaraland is one of the absolute wildlife highlights of Namibia, the rocky and predictably arid region, home to one of the world’s few populations of desert-adapted elephant, as well a local subspecies of black rhino. Damaraland lies just to the south of Kaokaland and the region is dominated by an incredible array of geological phenomena from the impressive Brandberg Mountain to the pointed inselberg at the Spitzkoppe, while Twfelfontein is also home to arguably the most famous collection of bushman rock art.
