 On the edge of a huge concession, Palmwag is beautifully situated next to a palm-lined tributary of the Uniab River, which often flows over-ground here. As water is very scarce in this area, its presence regularly draws elephants close to camp.
Reaching Palmwag is easy; it is just a few kilometres north of the junction of the D3706 and the D2620. Heading north, it is on the left, immediately after the veterinary fence, and its concession stretches off to the west, as far as the Skeleton Coast. On the opposite side of that same road (D3706) is the Etendeka concession.
Palmwag is the oldest lodge in the area, and is still run by DAS (Desert Adventure Safaris). There are campsites as well as rooms here, and its facilities attract a variety of people, ensuring that Palmwag remains something of a crossroads
Situated in the northwest of Damaraland, halfway between Swakopmund and Etosha, Palmwag is the ideal place from which to explore the Kunene Region. Set amongst whispering palm trees alongside a perennial spring in the Uniab River, Palmwag Lodge accommodates 24 guests in two and four bedded thatched bungalows. Each bungalow has an en suite shower, WC, mosquito net and a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside. There is an a la carte restaurant, thatched pool bar, swimming pool and campsite. The lodge can arrange optional morning and afternoon guided game drives in search of desert elephant, black rhino, giraffe and antelope. There are walking trails and day excursions to the Opuwo region to visit the Ovahimba people in their villages. An added bonus is when, on the rare occasion, desert elephant walk through Palmwag in search of water.
