Paradise Rest Camp

The main draw here is, of course, the wildlife viewing. Take a wander on the three-kilometre walking trail or have a word with site staff to organise game drives that also take in a visit to a baobab tree that’s said to be more than 2,500 years old. To get to grips with the country’s culture a bit more, take a trip over to Rehoboth, around an hour’s drive away, where the Rehoboth Museum charts the area’s people, geology and nature. The town’s also got a thermal resort where you can wallow in natural hot springs (as locals have done since the early 19th century). Another fine place to chill out nearby is Lake Oanob, also around an hour’s drive from camp, where you can take boat trips, go fishing or poke around at your own pace by hiring canoes or aqua bikes.
