Mowani Mountain Camp

Mowani Mountain Camp is a sanctuary set along the dusty and stunning landscapes of Damaraland. Dwarfed by massive ochre boulders, the camp is absorbed into the earth, making it one with Namibia's shared history of life in this prehistoric land. Featuring soft curves and ragged edges, each element comes together to create living areas, accommodation and collaborative spaces that look as though it has always been there.

Mowani Mountain Camp offers Luxury Tented accommodation with magnificent desert views. Boasting open-air en-suite bathrooms and private decks, providing guests with an expansive view of Damaraland and the reliability of nearby Twyfelfontein with its San engravings and paintings is contrasted by the elusive desert-adapted elephants.

Climb into an open-air vehicle and experience the rush of Africa! Mowani’s local guides share with their guests an intimate knowledge and respect for the land that they have built up over a lifetime. With new insight into local traditions, you will come to fully appreciate the geology, botany and wildlife of the area.

About the Twyfelfontein Conservancy

Uibasen-Twyfelfontein Conservancy was registered in 1999. It is very small, a mere 286 square kilometres, but significant for tourism as it includes the World Heritage site at Twyfelfontein - famous for rock engravings made as far back as 4,000 years. There are 230 people in the area. The landscape is a mix of hills, sparse savannah, plains and wooded river valleys with areas of scenic granite kopjes. Other features of interest are the Burnt Mountain and Organ Pipes – both geological formations. Wildlife includes elephant, leopard, mountain zebra, kudu, gemsbok and klipspringer. Income is derived from tourism.

The Twyfelfontein conservancy has been protecting the southern most roaming ground of the black rhino and elusive desert elephant. Sustainable eco-tourism and community upliftment is of the utmost importance at Mowani. Guides from the local tribes compliment day-time game drives to track mountain zebra, kudu, springbok, klipspringer and if you are fortunate enough... the leopard! At Mowani days are filled with game drives, hot air balloon trips over the Aba-Huab Valley, champagne breakfasts and al fresco meals amidst the dusky landscape beneath Mopani trees.
