Where to Stay in Khorixas on the Damaraland Route

Khorixas is the base most people use for Damaraland and Twyfelfontein, and it sits on the western run into Etosha through Kamanjab and Galton Gate.

Does Khorixas fit your Etosha trip?

Khorixas belongs to a specific itinerary: the one that treats Damaraland as a destination in its own right and then enters Etosha from the west rather than doubling back to the south. If that is your route, this is where the Damaraland nights usually sit.

If Etosha is the whole point of the trip and Damaraland is not on the list, Khorixas is a long way off the direct road and adds days rather than saving them. Be honest about which trip you are taking before you book here.

Where to stay around Khorixas

These sit in and around Khorixas and the surrounding Damaraland roads, from town accommodation to lodges and campsites out towards the rock-art sites.

Onward to Etosha

The western continuation runs north-east through Kamanjab to Galton Gate. Kamanjab is the fuller service town on that leg and the more common last night before the park, so it is worth checking what is available there as well.

The western sector has historically carried more access restrictions than the rest of Etosha, and the distances between camps are longer. Confirm current park and gate information, permitted roads and fuel before you commit to this approach.
