Entry fees in Damaraland vary depending on which specific location you visit and whether you are staying overnight. Unlike a single national park, Damaraland is a large, rugged region in Namibia with several different sites, each with its own fee structure.
General fees for specific sites
Spitzkoppe: A popular Damaraland attraction, Spitzkoppe has separate fees for day visitors and campers.
Day visitors: 50 Namibian Dollars (N$) per person and N$70 per vehicle.
Campers: 150 N$ per person, which includes the entrance fee.
Palmwag Lodge and Conservancy: The area around Palmwag is managed as a conservancy and has different rates depending on your stay.
Camping (2025): N$325 per person per night.
National Parks: If visiting a national park in the Damaraland region, such as the Skeleton Coast Park, the standard Namibian national park fees apply.
Vehicles (up to 10 seats): N$10 per day.
Accommodation and activity costs
For visitors staying at specific lodges or camps in Damaraland, the overall cost of the trip typically includes entry fees for certain activities or areas. The pricing varies significantly based on the level of luxury, board type, and season.
Damaraland Camp (Luxury): Rates at luxury camps like Damaraland Camp can cost thousands of Namibian Dollars (or equivalent in USD/ZAR) per person per night, though these are often “fully inclusive” packages. For example, 2025 rates were around N$8,534 per person sharing for a fully inclusive stay.
Twyfelfontein Rock Engravings: Visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Twyfelfontein will require paying a separate entrance fee. Guided tours are also an additional cost.
How to get current fee information
Because prices change, especially with seasonal variations, the best way to get accurate, up-to-date information is to: Contact lodges directly if you are staying in the area. Check with the local conservancy offices for independent sites like Spitzkoppe. Consult a reputable Namibian tour operator for specific sites or multi-day tours.
