Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see around Camp 360, given its location near the Erongo Mountains?

While the Erongo Mountains are a haven for diverse birdlife and smaller mammals like dassies and rock hyraxes, we don't recommend Camp 360 if your primary goal is to tick off the Big Five. Instead, we love it for its intimate encounters with desert adapted species such as black rhinos and springbok, often visible right from the lodge's viewing decks. It's a place for appreciating the subtle, resilient life of the Namibian landscape.

We're planning a trip for September. Is this a good time to visit Camp 360, and what should we pack?

September is a fantastic choice for Camp 360. The weather is typically dry and warm during the day, perfect for exploring the Erongo region, and the nights are cool, making for comfortable sleeping. We advise packing light, breathable clothing for daytime, a warm fleece or jacket for evenings, and sturdy walking shoes for any guided hikes.

What are the 'camp' activities at Camp 360 really like? Are they more rustic or luxurious?

The 'camp' activities at Camp 360 strike a wonderful balance. We found the guided nature walks and stargazing sessions to be incredibly insightful, led by guides who clearly love sharing their knowledge. While the experience feels authentic and connected to the environment, the lodge itself offers a surprising level of comfort and excellent food, making it a luxurious base for these adventures.

We're concerned about safety in more remote areas. How secure does Camp 360 feel, especially for solo travelers or families?

We felt completely at ease during our stay at Camp 360. The lodge is situated in a very peaceful area, and the staff are attentive and knowledgeable about the surroundings. While it's important to always be aware of your environment on any safari, the camp itself feels very secure, and we'd happily recommend it for travelers of all kinds.

Can you give us an idea of the cost involved for a typical stay at Camp 360, and what's usually included?

Camp 360 offers excellent value for its unique location and intimate experience. We found that most packages include accommodation, meals, and guided activities like nature walks and game drives. While prices can fluctuate seasonally, we suggest budgeting for a mid to high range safari lodge, knowing that the quality of the experience and the personalized service justify the investment.
