Etambura Camp

Etambura is the first Himba co-owned camp, situated in the Orupembe conservancy on top of one the highest hills above the holy plains of Onjuva. The holy plains are steeped in mystery, with several different stories of why the area was consecrated by the semi-nomadic Himba herders who live here.

Etambura is the ideal place to relax, with five canvas and thatch chalets, each with its own private deck extending from the hill and into the beyond, conjuring illusions of “stepping into air”. Built on a wooden platform and, in some cases, on stilts, each unit is positioned to optimize the view.
