Reviews
Meg Shepro (Staff)
Hoanib Valley Camp is a lovely oasis set deep in the desert of northern Namibia. During my stay I enjoyed game drives in search of ostrich, oryx, springbok and deserted adapted elephant and giraffe, a magnificent site in the harsh desert surroundings. The staff are all local to the area and are incredibly kind and welcoming, ensuring a truly pleasant stay in the desert.
