On a recent 2 week trip around Namibia we spent a night at Camp Kipwe. Our son and his girlfriend were visiting us in Namibia, where we live and this was to be a 'special treat' as by Namibia prices this place is not cheap! No strangers to lodge accommodation in the country this was our first stay at this... More

The most stunning location matched by impeccable friendly and sensitive staff. Others have described how the camp has been built amongst the boulders in the Damaraland dessert, with an igloo-like bedroom leading to an outside bathroom squeezed in and between the boulders. Heidi, the manager, showed excellent attention to guests and to the staff. The evening ritual is to order... More

We stayed at Camp Kipwe in March 2012. The setting is impressive with the lodge set amongst huge granite boulders. The rooms are really nice, round rondavel-style with a touch of Africa in the decor. The rooms were very comfortable and featured air-con and outdoor bathrooms - these were a novelty, just beware of people walking up the pathways! The... More

What a nice gem hidden in the granite boulders of Damaraland! This small camp with round houses like the boulders is offering breathtaking views of the desert and mountains around. The outside bathroom is stunning. The camp has a charming rock pool to refresh from the heat after the nature drive chasing the rare desert elephants, and offers breathtaking sunsets... More

Our stay in Kamp Kipwe was magical in every instant-we simply fell in love with the unusual, circular design of the rooms, outdoor toilet-though we carried a torch at night, just in case ;-), wonderful platform above the Camp to watch the sunset from-which was amazing and unforgettable, too. Our guide was great as well, he claimed he couldn't promise... More

We had to drive a bit from Sossuvlei but it was worth it. Friendly staff, great location, special place for sunset. Out door toilet and shower were inspiring. I had a shaving early in the morning that I will remember. Beautiful colors in the mirror in sunrise, nice breeze, sounds of nature that is waking up from night... Two guides... More

This is one of the most amazing places i have ever stayed in. From arrival to departure the experience was fantastic. The design of the accommodation (very secluded rondavals) needs to be seen to be believed and the rooms have everything you need to make it a delightful stay. The drive is a long one to get there but the... More

This is not a camp as your remember from your time in scouting or the like. Camp Kipwe is in what seems to be the middle of nowhere, but what has been created here is spectacular - made even more so by the long drives on dirt roads to reach this part of Namibia, so if you come stay here... More

On arrival the staff was very friendly and assisted with the luggage and after a few minutes we where on our way to our Chalet. The Chalet was not as clean as I would have liked it and it did not see the engineering department for some time. The reason most likely is that the housekeeping team did not report... More

Kipwe has a privilege of being perched on the sides of a superb nature's art creation: a hill made out of gianormous round granitte boulders at the edge of a magnificent Damara valley. The views are such that no matter what might be right or wrong you cannot but be totally charmed by the place. The little round huts consist... More
