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.
‘Kipwe’, meaning blessed in Swahili, is nestled in the boulders, facing out onto superb scenery.
The nine rooms are round in shape, with decks to admire the view. The outside, open bathrooms adjoining the bedrooms have boulder, cement and rock walls, and roofs of rough mopane branches. An additional suite provides luxury accommodation for discerning travellers.
The central area of the camp is raised and comprises four thatched domes; the reception area and curio shop, dining room and lounge. A small swimming pool built into the rocks and a viewpoint with 360 degrees of breathtaking beauty, are two attractive outdoor features.
Activities at the camp include nature drives with the possibility of seeing the desert-adapted elephants, Twyfelfontein excursions to the rock engravings with Kipwe’s experienced guides and self guided walks.
