Damaraland is one of the most scenic areas in Namibia, prehistoric water courses with open plains and grassland, massive granite koppies and distant mountains create the landscape. It is also one of the least populated areas of the country. Southern Damaraland's great attractions include the Gross Spitzkoppe and Brandberg Mountain, both home to a wealth of rock art and best seen at sunset. Twyfelfontein has hundreds of rock paintings and is perfect for exploration.

Northern Damaraland thrives with wild game. Some of land have been designated 'concession areas'. These areas are expansive and include some villages but tourism is strictly limited. Operators work in conjunction with local guides and a proportion of all income goes straight to the community. This gives you the opportunity to explore the area with those who know it best. Be sure to visit the Petrified Forest, with its 250 million-year-old fossilised logs. The barren Damaraland is very beautiful but arid and unforgiving.
