Palmwag Concession
Palmwag
The largest private wildlife concession in the northwest, where desert black rhinos, desert elephants, mountain zebras and giraffes live among red lava hills.
Palmwag lies about 90 km north of Twyfelfontein and has a fuel station and lodges. It is the gateway to the Skeleton Coast and Kaokoland. Within the concession, visitors can join game drives organized by the lodges, or walk with trackers to search for desert black rhinos. The latter requires advance booking and is quite expensive. Entering the concession requires registration at the veterinary fence checkpoint, and only licensed four-wheel-drive vehicles may be driven in independently.
