Overview

An elegant camp, Mowani Mountain Camp lies in an area of astounding beauty and is discreetly built high up among massive red granite boulders in the heart of Namibia's Damaraland. It's a vast unspoilt wilderness area and home to spellbinding views and far more wildlife than the rocky terrain suggests.

You can expect an array of exciting adventures and wildlife activities at Mowani. Go on guided drives in search of the elusive desert-adapted elephant or hike through the magnificent landscape to discover its details. You can also explore the historic rock art site at Twyfelfontein and enjoy the rare sight of more than 2 500 Bushman engravings and paintings - probably the finest example of rock engravings in Southern Africa.

Mowani has a lovely atmosphere and one of the best sunset lookout points I've ever enjoyed, set high up on a massive boulder where you can see for miles.

Mowani Mountain Camp

Mowani – for sheer outstanding architectural beauty and a place to watch the sun go down (with a drink) this takes a lot of beating. Add in mountain elephants that virtually ignored you and the coldest plunge pool with the best view I have every use
