"My favourite Namibia scenery"
Our visit was much enhanced by our exceptional guide, Bons, who made us feel that we were friends rather than customers and was a great fount of information.
Future visitors will have the benefit of a new airstrip which has just been built very near to the camp - we were on the last flight out of the old one.
One of the prettiest 'boma' dinner settings we have ever had." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 9n in Namibia
"Desert Rhino Camp review"
We had booked 2 nights only there. It is a long journey to get there by car so i would highly recommend flying in. For us, we drove in and then found out that the allocated concession in which we were tracking rhinos the following day was the furthest from the lodge and would mean a lot of driving again. This meant we had 3 huge days driving or driving /tracking and, for us, this kind of took the edge of the whole excitement.
The other point (that we didn't realise before booking) was that we would only be tracking one rhino per day and once/if that rhino had been found then we would not specifically track any others. I would have liked to have known this prior to booking.
The facilities (for where they are) and the dedication of the staff are exceptional. If we visited again, we would fly in and spend probably 3 or 4 nights minimum to allow some down time to enjoy the camp more." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Great experience with rhino trackers"
"Desert Rhino Camp review"
11 hours in the jeep searching for the elusive rhino (we saw a mother and her baby) was about 4 hours too long. The roads are extremely rough. Anyone with back problems should not attempt this.
Many people fly into this this. It is a long drive to get to the parking lot and then it is another 2 hours by lodge jeep to the lodge.
Our guide, Liberty, was a lot of fun." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Desert Rhino Camp."
"Great experience"
It was very special seeing a mum and baby rhino close up, although slightly scary!" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"Spectacularly beautiful"
The location was starkly spectacular and there was lots of wildlife. The game drives were very bumpy and it sometimes took a long time to find the rhino or elephant but we were always rewarded. Food was excellent and we had a lovely BBQ on the last night hosted by the staff who sang and danced for us.
We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend a few days stay." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Desert Rhino Camp review"
The set up with tents and lodge were great and the service was outstanding. The scorpion hunt (aka bush dinner) a wonderful surprise.
So much activity which was great. Tracking rhino and elephants lots of fun. Incredible landscape and so worth the effort to get there.
Staff absolutely amazing!" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
