Welcome to Madisa Camp

A relaxed base after the road.

Madisa Camp is set among granite formations and large Mopane trees in the Sorris Sorris Conservancy of north-western Namibia.

The camp offers comfortable safari tents, private campsites and overland camping for travellers exploring Damaraland. This is unfenced wilderness and part of the natural range of Namibia’s desert-adapted elephants. Guests may see wildlife moving through the surrounding riverbeds and valleys, but sightings are never guaranteed.

After a day on the road, cool off in the rock pool, order a drink at the raised-deck bar or settle in around the campfire for a relaxed evening under the stars.
