Kamanjab-The Area!
Kamanjab is a good point to stop and refuel, but is also a good base for excursions and fly-ins into north-eastern Namibia, as well as guided trips into western Etosha, so the length of stay can be a brief stop to refuel or a number of nights, depending on the activities.
Kamanjab, located near the western entrance to Etosha (the Galton Gate) is rapidly developing as a Namibian destination. Although access to the western side of Etosha is restricted to licensed operators, the western area is expected to be developed and opened for self drives in the near future. Kamanjab also offers access to Kaokoland (Opuwo) and Damaraland (Twyfelfontein), and travellers may possibly see desert dwelling elephants and black rhino. Kamanjab can also be used as a jump-off point for Himba encounters
The name Kamanjab means ‘place of stones’ or ‘large rocks’. The name refers to granite outcroppings in the vicinity.
In winter (May to September) the nights may be cold but midday may be warm to hot. In summer the temperature may rise to over 35 C.
Kamanjab-The Town!
Kamanjab – North-Western Namibia
There is 24-hour petrol, a bakery, supermarket, post office and police station at Kamanjab; if heading north, fill up with fuel and provisions since this is the last source before reaching Opuwo or Ruacana. The only place to stay in town is the small but pleasant Oase Guest House, also your best bet for food.
