The long awaited Dolomite Camp, nestled in the dolomite outcrops of the western Etosha National Park in Namibia, has finally opened doors to its guests on 01 June 2011.
The construction of Namibia Wildlife Resort’s 5th establishment inside Etosha and 19th overall in Namibia Protected Nature Park Areas began about a year ago in June 2010.
The 20 rooms and 40 bed Dolomite Camp is offering an intimate experience of one of the most scenic areas of Etosha. Staying overnight in one of the 17 Bush Chalet costs N$750 (offseason) and N$900 (high season), while the Deluxe Chalets cost N$1 200 (off-season) and N$1 400 (high season) per person sharing.
The Dolomite Camp consists of a spacious reception, lounge, bar and restaurant area – offering sunrise and sunset views over the surrounding savannah. From this point, a walkway leads to thatched, en suite chalets of which two are premier chalets. The Camp’s interiors reflect some of the features of western part of the Etosha National Park, characterized by dolomite rock formations, mopane, moringa and savannah woodland.

Namibia - experience it yourself!
Namibia is currently one of the fastest growing tourist market in Southern Africa. South Africa's neighbor is a holiday paradise - vast landscapes, mountains, the desert (the Namib is acutally the second oldest desert in the world), the desert meeting the Atlantic Ocean, Etosha National Park and so much more!

You can then enjoy a champagne sundowner before returning to the lodge for dinner. Your stay here supports the project and helps with the costs of keeping these majestic animals alive.

Day 3 Lodge, outside Etosha National Park
We depart from our lodge at sunrise to be the first at the gate to the park and game drive 'til mid morning when we will stop for a light breakfast. We visit many waterholes and drive half way across the park in our quest to find the big 4 as well as all the plains game arriving at Halali for a rest during the hottest part of the day. Here your guide will prepare you a delicious lunch whilst you have a dip in the pool or relax by the camp waterhole. Continuing after lunch you will visit the mighty Etosha Pan and have the experience of walking on the pan to feel the immenseness of this 4500 sq km saltpan (seasonal). We will then continue back to Okaukuejo calling into some well-known waterholes and leave the park prior to sunset. Dinner is prepared by your guide and another early night is recommended. (BLD)

We drive down an ancient river bed surrounded by towering dunes to the 2x4 parking (around 55kms) and take a 4x4 shuttle into the Sossusvlei area to appreciate the beauty of this place in early morning light and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the region. We explore this unique area on foot before heading into Dead Vlei with its large expanse of bleached cracked clay and skeletal camel thorn trees, contrasting with a backdrop of huge dunes with their ever-changing colours. We can either walk or take the 4x4 shuttle back to our vehicle. As we drive back to our accommodation we will stop at the famous Dune 45 and climb this dune if we wish or just wander around the base.
