The camp is in the north eastern corner of Namibia near the Botswana border. It is on state-owned land within the traditional area of the Ju/’hoan San or Bushmen. The camp is adjacent to the Ju/’hoan village and was built by Arno and Estelle with the help of the community. Without tourism, the community would have left their ancestral land and moved to settled areas. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our two hunting walks with the bushmen.
