Donkerbos (Afrikaans: dark bush) is a settlement in the remote East of Namibia in the Omaheke Region, situated 260 kilometres (160 mi) from the regional capital Gobabis.
It belongs to the Otjombinde electoral constituency in the Kalahari Desert, near hunting grounds of the San people, who moved here long before the village was established. They still form the majority population of Donkerbos. Donkerbos Primary School serves 200 learners of both this settlement and the neighboring hamlet of Sonneblom.
