The name ‘Agama’ is derived from the colourful family of lizards that frequent the drier and open savannah regions of Africa, this was also the first creature to make itself visible when we entered the old farm gate, it seemed fitting to indulge this inquisitive reptile in the name sake.

We are situated on the C19, 30 kms south of Solitaire and 50 kms north of Sesriem, approximately forty five minutes from the main gate way to Sossusvlei.

The ‘Main Camp’ is made up of eight camp sites only,coupled with a dedicated swimming pool, restaurant, viewing deck and bar. The camp sites all have wash-up facilities, braai areas, running water, a 12v light and soft, level river sand under foot, this makes for dust free camping and easier tent installation. Most importantly they are all shaded by adult Acacia trees.

Our communal ablution facility is like no other with open skies and large roomy,individually decorated chambers, hot water is provided by wood boilers every afternoon at around five o’clock. In addition to the main camp we also have an exclusive campsite at the foot of the Naukluft mountains.This camp is some 6 kms off the main road and is nestled in an ancient river system, it boasts two showers,two toilets,a braai area and running water. It was previously utilized by CC Africa’s exclusive Anderson and Thirst-land expeditions, its charm is accentuated by the surrounding mountains and its remoteness.

Most visitors utilize our facilities as an overnight access point to Sossusvlei and the Namib Naukluft hiking trails. We also offer self guided walks into the mountains. Pre-arranged meals for groups, events and / or individuals as well as breakfast packs are available. For those who don’t have camping equipment we will provide tents, bedding, crockery and cutlery for an additional fee. Please bring your own fire wood and ice, these two commodities are hard to come by in the desert and our power supply is limited to four hours per day by means of a diesel generator. A number of 220 v electrical outlets are available for the charging of batteries and or appliances

None of this would have any impact without our friendly staff that provide you with a clean ‘campground’ and smile matched assistance.
