Huddled in the rocks, with sweeping views across the Aba Huab valley, Camp Kipwe is full of surprises, starting when guests first arrive. It appears as if rocks have tumbled down the hill to reveal this gem of a camp. The setting is one of intimacy and space. An inviting lounge area, where birds fly in to enjoy the water seeping from the rocks, a refreshing swimming pool nestled in the rocks and a scattering of bungalows complete this eco-friendly camp.

The twin-bedded rooms are in the shape of rondavels and have boulder, cement and rock walls ensuring that on entry, they feel like a cool secluded cave, and offer outside decks to admire the view. The en-suite, open air private bathrooms are built amongst the rocks, allowing guests to take advantage of our outdoor weather. Hot water is supplied by wood-burning ‘donkey’ boilers and solar geysers.
