Palmwag

The Palmwag Nature Reserve spans 400,000 hectares of basalt terrain, intersected by the Uniab River that flows through the northern Damaraland wilderness.

The establishment of Palmwag Lodge in 1986 marked the beginning of organized conservation efforts to protect endangered species in northwestern Namibia.

The semi-nomadic Himba communities maintain their traditional practices near the reserve, continuing their ancestral connection with the Kunene landscape.

Visitors access the reserve via a 7-hour drive from Windhoek, with accommodations ranging from basic campsites to furnished lodge rooms.

The reserve houses Africa's largest population of free-roaming black rhinos, protected by dedicated rangers of the Save the Rhino Trust.
