Damaraland in Namibia is known as an explorer's paradise for its wide variety of attractions, including the Petrified Forest, ancient rock art at Twyfelfontein and The Finger of God.
The Damara people with their semi-nomadic lifestyle share some similarities with the San culture in that they are herders and trekked along the valleys of this area for many years.
Khorixas being the main town of Damaraland, is the gateway to the fascinating geography, spectacular attractions and desert-adapted wildlife roaming the area and also an ideal stopover when travelling between the Skeleton Coast and Etosha National Park.
