Palmwag
Cool down with a swim in a natural pool and embark on a rhino-tracking excursion in this scenic and fascinating park.

Palmwag is a stunning nature reserve famous for containing one of the largest populations of southwestern black rhinos in Africa. Its 1,500 square miles (4,000 square kilometres) are home to cheetahs, lions, leopards, elephants and many other fascinating species. Stay at the campsite or the lodge for a few days filled with exciting animal viewing.

Embark on a leisurely stroll through the scenic outback, meandering past swaying palm trees. The reserve has the country’s largest predator population after the Etosha National Park. Spot zebras, gemsboks and other animals on the plains. Stay for the sunset and admire the changing red hues of the African sky. See the cheetahs, leopards, spotted hyenas and some of the more than 100 lions. Other animals here include ostriches, jackals, kudus and oryx.

The gems of the safari are the rare black rhinos and the herds of elephants. Try a rhino-tracking excursion with qualified rangers. Gaze up at the skies for a glimpse of the variety of bird life here. Capture photos of the range of animals with the scenic Damaraland terrain of hills and grasslands making up the background.

Swim in one of the natural pools that adorn the park. Bring the makings for a picnic to enjoy on the grass in this picturesque setting.

Stay at the Palmwag Lodge and use the bar and swimming pool. Take a guided walk with a docent along a hiking trail through the park for a comprehensive understanding of the local ecosystems. Join one of the morning or afternoon game drives to get closer to the majestic animals.

Palmwag is in the Kunene region in the northwestern corner of Namibia. It stands between Swakopmund and the vast Etosha National Park. Arrive in the country via the Windhoek Hosea Kutako International Airport and drive northwest for 400 miles (650 kilometres), which should take about 7 hours.
