Palmwag

Palmwag is a nature reserve in northern Namibia. It is located in the Kunene region, in northwestern Damaraland, half way between Swakopmund and the Etosha National Park. It covers an area of 400,000 hectars. Wildlife in Palmwag include African leopards, Katanga lions, Namibian cheetahs, mountain zebras, Angolan giraffes, springboks, kudus, and desert elephants. The reserve also has the largest population of south-western black rhinos in Africa; a local organization called Save the Rhino Trust protects them.

Palmwag is also a tourist attraction. The main accommodations in the reserve are the "Palmwag Lodge" and the "Palmwag Rhino Campo", a mobile tented camp managed by Rhino Trust which is intended to provide a base for rhino watching.
