A wonderful campsite

This is a wonderful place to camp, probably our favourite campsite in Namibia! The views are amazing, the private facilities are clean and quirky, and there are great walks you can do from the campsite.

Beautiful & amazing campsite & hosts

The location is amazing, the views over the valley beautiful and the whole campsite is super nice organized and decorated. Gecko Camp is a must-stay!

Nice camp on the way to Swakopmund

The rustic camp is located on a hill and each campsite has a private, sometimes very creatively designed bathroom. Cabins/tents are also available.

A wonderful campsite

The owners are very warm and welcoming, and as an added bonus we bought the best braai pack we've ever had, which included home-cooked bread and cake warm from the oven as well as meat and delicious vegetables.

Accommodation Description

Camp Gecko offers a unique camping experience in the heart of Namibia's breathtaking savannah, directly below the Spreetshoogte Pass near Solitaire. The campsite features three individually designed sites—Eagle, Moonlight, and Hilltop—each providing panoramic views of the plains, waterholes, and surrounding mountains. Every campsite is equipped with private open-air ablution facilities, a barbecue area, and a shaded section suitable for relaxation or setting up ground tents. The emphasis on privacy and immersion in nature ensures a serene and intimate outdoor retreat.

Setting Description

Nestled within a private nature reserve, Camp Gecko is situated approximately 15 kilometers from the Spreetshoogte Pass on the D1275 road. The area is characterized by its expansive savannah landscapes framed by majestic mountain ranges. Guests can enjoy the tranquility of the natural surroundings, observe wildlife at nearby waterholes, and experience stunning sunsets that paint the Namibian sky. The proximity to the Spreetshoogte Pass offers opportunities for scenic drives and exploration of the Namib Naukluft region.

What We Love

  • Private Open-Air Facilities: Each campsite boasts its own open-air shower and toilet, allowing guests to connect with nature while maintaining comfort and privacy.
  • Spectacular Views: The elevated positions of the campsites provide unobstructed vistas of the valley, waterholes, and distant mountains, offering a picturesque backdrop for relaxation.
  • Secluded Atmosphere: With only three campsites, guests can enjoy a sense of exclusivity and solitude, enhancing the overall camping experience.
  • Proximity to Natural Attractions: The nearby Spreetshoogte Pass and Namib Naukluft region present ample opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and photography.
