Damaraland Camp by Wilderness Safaris (Namibia) | Searching for desert elephants & rhinos

- Join me on a full tour in 4K of Damaraland Camp. This beautiful lodge is set in a magnificent, desolate landscape which is home to rare desert adapted elephants and black rhinos. The lodge is managed by Wilderness Safaris (Africa's premier luxury safari operator) and has been a model for community-based conservation initiatives since 1996.

So mooi met pragtige passende musiek.....dankie!
The great great great travel channel in the world. I love you 💘 from Mumbai India 💖
Ah My Saturday morning retreat once again has arrived after a busy week.... thank you :) - I will watch whilst enjoying my breakfast and a hot cup of coffee
I enjoy your videos of luxury hotels. But those videos in Namibia are really something else. "Peace" is the best word to describe the feeling of these sceneries . Thank you for sharing.
This accommodation seems more humble compare with previous Namibia's hotels. But the adventure to see elephant, giraffe and rhino in front of own eyes are more fascinating in my opinion. If I have to choose only 1 of these hotels and trip, I pick this one.
Again, another amazing destination! Lovely accommodation and the people seem very nice! Thanks again for the upload! Your videos always make my Saturday way better!
Of all the safaris featured on this channel...it is this serene, spartan camp that is the most inspiring. Very beautiful. Soul and heart touching.
Wow! What beauty humility and serenity in 1 package! Dankbaar!
Great video. I love it very much. Thank you.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations and thank you again for your amazing video you are sharing with us !
The peace and serenity of the place are incredible. I love the style of the lodge .
Thank you for transposing me to this place. I felt like I was there. I am living out these holidays vicariously through you.
this is exquisite, greetings from Indonesia
Your videos have definitely inspired me to travel the world. You visit some amazing destinations, and have helped me to realize that the world can be a beautiful place to live.
Positively captivating... The visuals & soundtrack combined to make a video that felt like a big warm hug with a side of holiday lol... Thank you so much ❤
Just absolutely loving the Namibia uploads. Thank you so much for bringing to us this amazing destination. Beautifully filmed.
Just getting to some of these places is a odyssey, and leaving I don't want to.😎 The logistics of building these places is a task in it self. Thank you AGAIN.
the sunrise breakfast alone was worth the cost of admission! Wow!
I agree ☝️
I haven’t been regular on the channel but I want to say that I’m happy to see you having a great time in Namibia.
Wonderful!
Beautiful ❤️
Your chanel and content better than Discovery TV channel. Always very unique content. Thank you for sharing such a great amazing videos!.
Wow, thank you!
The song you used at the start was amazing. From Rwanda 🙏🏾
The beauty of Namibia's landscape and wildlife is breathtaking!
Wonderful
This is incredible production. I just finished watching this episode. I'm watching here in Botswana. Have you ever did bush camping
So beautiful and peaceful the elephants walk so gentle
Here you are drawn into a world similar to March. To a cozy and simple hotel that gives you everything you could want. The hotel gives you a sense of what it is like to live locally, with its robust and natural furniture and interior. Here you are really in one with nature, with its simple little cabins. The fact that you have the opportunity to see the wilderness so closely, with its black rhinos and majestic elephants, makes the experience absolutely fantastic. Fabulous service from the staff with a surprise breakfast. Nice story and video. And here you have brought out much of the simple and natural that gives you an inner peace and tranquility. Beautiful video. With many nice pictures that capture many beautiful situations and moments.
So, so, so enjoyable.
I've watched many southern African safari vids, but this is, undoubtedly, one of the best.
I could smell the wood smoke of the fire, I tasted the fine dust that the elephants raised, I saw God's glory in the sunrise.
One can't ask for much more than this.
God bless,
Dave
What a breakfast ! Also the combination of music, and silence was perfect. Particularly liked the African choral music half way through- reminded me of the choral music at the end of “Cry Freedom” - still have this video clip on my phone- immensely powerful with the rolling script. Did also enjoy the “simpleness” of it and the friendliness of staff. Can’t wait till next week - shudder to think how good if best ever you have stayed in !
Thank you LTE for another amazing video. I look forward to your videos and watch with pleasure. It's incredible that all the lodge holidays in Namibia are so wonderfully different and beautiful with incredible landscape and friendly staff members. It's so important that operators support the local community and to be a part of that must have been quite humbling. Take care.
To see these magnificent animals live........now that would be awesome.
So grateful you're back to exciting and exotic travels again.
beautiful. The adventure of seeing wildlife in its habitat and the friendliness of the staff, wow!.
Absolutely stunning Luxury travel. Thank you!
It's really blessed one...Lux Bhai
Stunning footage as always @theluxurytravelexpert You had a jam packed 2 weeks in Namibia I'd say! Thanks as always for bringing us along. Incredible promotion!
Such stunning scenery.
Fantastic, I have been to Namibia five times. A great holiday destination, but until Namibia Government stops this Corvid-19 restrictions I will stay away. Off to Florida for my next holiday, no nonsense and I can enjoy my holiday.
Another austere and beautiful vid. Thank you.
Chris
I adore animals so hope you stay in Namibia as long as possible....
As a safari guide myself, Wilderness Safaris has an excellent reputation. The music you selected is beautiful!
5:25 i love the lounge chairs and all of the natural wood finishes..
Incredibly seductive..
Well done..
What a wonderful place... can't believe it...
Gosh the road that takes you there is bumpy as hell
Welcome to Namibia 😉
Peace and serenity. Lovely music. Giraffes and elephants that have hubcaps for feet ! 😀 I would find it difficult to leave this desert ... and, I'm a water gal!! Nicely done, dear LTE! Enjoyed it!!
i am literally crying
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you LTE.
Just. Amazing.
.. Mezelf teruggevonden in de woestijn, dit is zo prachtig ! Dankjewel !
Wow that looked wonderful, the animals and scenery were a spectacle. I loved how the staff interacted with you and your camera. I think you must have enjoyed this camp immensely.
True 😉
Damn incredible, beautiful Africa
Great visuals and soundtrack.
Fantastic video 😍
If may i suggest visiting Katre Island Hotel, amazing place
Set in the Huab River valley, Damaraland Camp Namibia boasts sensational views of the surrounding desert plains, ancient valley and the soaring peaks of the Brandberg Mountains. Ten adobe-style thatch units are raised on individual wooden decks, park of which extends out to form a large viewing platform with magnificent vistas.
Lovely place and the staff look fun! ❤️
Seems like Martian land dotted with life,indeed a surreal landscape on earth, fabulous video.
Thanks a ton, happy journey
Such a beautiful place omg I can only dream
👏 супер
Excellent travelogue as always . Your videography and presentation skills along with choice of locales are from another world. They are an absolute joy to watch. Keep it up
Thx for your kind comment and for watching 😍
💛💛💛💛💛💛
ANOTHER CLICK OFF THE WORLD'S NOISE!! A PEACEFUL RELAXING HIDEOUT!! LOVE ❤ HOW THE ANIMALS CAN ROAM FREE!! THE SKY WAS A MASTERPIECE ALL BY IT SELF!! THE MUSIC COMPLIMENTS EVERY SCENE!! OF COURSE MY FAVORITE WAS THE SURPRISE SUNRISE BREAKFAST!!❤
A foghorn in case of emergency??!!!! 😵💫
It seems a bit basic compared to some others but it’s good to have variety. Also, the part about having a dog horn in case of an emergency? 😮 that’s a bit scary.
Love your content . Please see if you can review the Cheval Blanc Randheli property in Maldives thanks 😊
Uu nice wou
Just looked it up: Damaraland is from 1000-1500 USD a night. If you're able to travel spontaneously, prices are starting at 700 USD a night. Single persons pay double person price. These are non-luxury booking site prices. Official wilderness safari site prices are inquire only. Nearby Doro Dawas is cheaper. Poor people alternative nearby (not from wilderness) is named Ondundu Lodge which is 40-60 km away.
34:00 Exquisite, as if you're having breakfast on Mars
How was it to watch the stars out in the desert? Seems to be zero light pollution out there
It fascinates me how large animals have adapted to the desert terrain. And what spectacular terrain and beautiful sky. Simply other-worldly. So when are we going to Antarctica, Dr. LTE??? I need to cool off after visiting the desert, delightful as it has been. However, I'm guessing luxury accommodations might be difficult to come by in the coldest regions of Planet Earth. No matter where you go, I am sure to follow :)
Next destination will be even hotter (Maldives) 😉
Another very nice vid covering the stark but beautiful Afrika. Thank you.
What's next?
Regards,
Chris
Maldives 😉
Nice!
What's the music starting at 26:50? It's incredibly atmospheric.
You can see Namibia was an English colony by the fact they have the wheel on the right hand.
What camera equipment do you use? Please place a link where to buy it in your description please
I’m used to driving on rough roads, having driven in a number of areas in western Wyoming. I assume this is a rental car you’re driving? However, and I’m a little embarrassed to ask, but as a typical American, I’m used to just driving automatic transmission cars and not “stick shift“ vehicles. Was your rental automatic or standard transmission? Thank you. When it comes to travel videos on TH-cam, you’re my hero! You produce the finest travel videos!
Automatic car
@@luxurytravelexpert: Outstanding! Thank you!
By the way, during what month was your visit? I noticed when you went for that morning safari ride it was a bit chilly as everyone was wearing a jacket.
PS. Are there any luxury hotels in Canada that are en par with European or Swiss/German standards?
Thank you
Chris
Não me sentiria segura para fazer as refeições.... Ficaria preocupada o tempo todo 🙃
When your vacation involves getting off of the grid.
😍🥰🤍brilliant!
What is the music in breakfast session?
Thank you for the Namibia episodes. The country has been on my list, but I have read they require six empty visa pages in your passport, is this correct?
Two empty pages 😉
What is the title of the song?
Burundian song?!
what is your next country?
Maldives
@@luxurytravelexpert cool!
So much wrong with square eggs I don't know where to start!
They provide 3 squares a day, plus afternoon tea!! 😉🙃😌
Very loud background music irritating skip for this video.
It doesn’t look like luxury place at all. It’s a cabin with little pool
poor people just go to hotels with other guests, while the Luxury Travel experts only visits those he's the only one directly at arrival...
Спасибо за видео, ощущение, что отдыхаешь на Марсе и так приятно не думать ни о чем и не смотреть новости... Но оказалось, что расслабляться нельзя, потому что... бах... и твой президент объявил войну. И ты не можешь вылететь из этого далёкого места.
Why don't you visit Brazil? I'm tired of watching videos about deserts...
I have an important suggestion for you, if you have the phone number of the hotel manager in the desert, I have 5 points of advice,
1. all employees must have the tactical ability to use firearms,
2. the hotel must provide firearms, helmets and bulletproof vests for visitors,
3. all hotel employees must have medical skills,
4. must have bunkers connected from each room, to the main bunker,
5. must have a personal security network that can be deployed quickly by helicopter to desert hotels that have Evacuation and medical skills,
My advice is to anticipate robbers or pirates who want to take money or extort asking for ransom by holding visitors hostage, this is really a concern
we all see 360 degree security loophole
even if an airsofter is given a real gun, it can easily invade a hotel in the desert like this, I hope all visitors stay safe
I'm sure if James Bond came here, he would bring heavyweight combat equipment
Ya dreaming...You have been watching too many James Bond movies..
Dear brother don't go to deserts or no people living areas. No use.
Não me sentiria segura para fazer as refeições.... Ficaria preocupada o tempo todo 🙃
What is the title of the song?
