Kamanjab Rest Camp Namibia

The Rest Camp is located 3 km from the village Kamanjab, which is approximately 1,200 m above sea level. The landscape in the centre of the camp is similar to that of a savanna, surrounded by gentle hills. On these hills you can find a Sundowner where you can sit back and enjoy the majestic sunsets and simply relax.

The village Kamanjab is 3 km away from the camp site and has three supermarkets, where you can find everything you need for personal use, as a holidaymaker or as a camper.
You’ll be amazed at what you can buy so far away from the capitol, Windhoek. The Shell station is located directly at the only intersection in Kamanjab.

Accommodation
Campsite
We offer 8 parking spaces at our campsite. The slots are spacious, so that you have your privacy and are not disturbed by the nocturnal sounds of your neighbours.
You can find a fire pit, water and electrical connections at the slots. Our campers are welcome to enjoy the bar and a seat around the campfire.

Bungalows
We have captured the charm of Africa through the designs of our bungalows. They have been specifically built with grass roofs so as to withstand the hottest of days.
Even if you still feel too warm, you can use a fan. Since we have tested the beds ourselves, we can assure you that they are very comfortable.
Each bungalow has hot and cold running water, and can of course be used without disturbing those using the lavatory. Each bungalow has its own terrace and campfire which will give you undisturbed time to relax.

Lapa & Bar: The Lapa and the area around the camp fire are wonderful locations for information and communication. Here campers and bungalow guests meet and exchange their experiences and thoughts.
We are more than happy to welcome guests and it is of course very important to us that everyone has enough food to eat and beverages to drink.
Unfortunately, those expecting a 5-star cuisine in the middle of Africa will not get their moneys’ worth. What we do guarantee, is a great breakfast and a hearty dinner. We offer a great kitchen, which is characterized by European and African cuisine.
