A 550,000 hectare protected area of semi-desert land located in the northwestern part of Namibia.
The Palmwag Concession is a surreal basalt landscape that was created by massive magma eruptions around 125 million years ago. Today you can go on a self-drive trip or book a guided tour at one of the lodges to explore the Palmwag concession and the rugged basalt fields of the so-called Etendeka Plateau, which are filled with rare aloes and poisonous euphorbias. The birding in this area is excellent. Not only on the guided tours one can make, but also around the lodge.
The Palmwag concession can be visited at an affordable daily fee. The necessary permit can be obtained at the entrance gate north of Palmwag Lodge or directly at the reception of the Lodge. Here you can also get an information sheet with a map. Note: An off-road vehicle is essential for trips through the Palmwag concession! In addition to the lodges that are located directly within the Palmwag concession (Palmwag Lodge, Desert Rhino Camp, Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp) there are also 8 campsites.
