Mowani Mountain Camp

Our View

There’s a simple luxury to Mowani, set on the rugged Damaraland horizon among the towering boulders and jagged rocks. The domed rooms blend perfectly into their arid surroundings - and this camp truly is wild, totally apart from the rest of the world in a little sanctuary. It’s a really special place, with views that will linger on in memories for years to come. Plus, at $350 per person per night in a standard room on the full board three-night package, you are getting heaps of value for money. (There are varying price options, so talk to us and we can walk you through them.)

Mowani Mountain Camp - The Facts

Mowani is 15km away from the nearest airstrip at Twyfelfontein, and the elusive (but no less exciting) wildlife of this stunning area means children are welcome, and those under three even go free. Guests can enjoy nature walks with superb guides, who can teach you all about the geology and botany of the region, or you can take yourself off on a self-guided walk through their nature trails. A big point of interest is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the rock engravings of Twyfelfontein, which is well worth a visit.

Back at camp, the domed main area of Mowani is complete with a lounge, open plan deck dining under the stars, and an outdoor boma area for gin and tonic relaxation.

There is also a viewpoint and sundowner spot, a bar, and limited Wifi due to the remoteness of the lodge. However, pretty much any seat in the main area will leave you gobsmacked with the most incredible views far into the horizon. There is also a lovely swimming pool carved out of boulders with equally stunning views.

Rooms are also cosied into dome shapes, with desert-coloured furnishings and earthy tones. There are 12 rooms in total, and a few different types at varying prices. Superior view rooms face west with panoramic scenes, while view rooms look out onto the valley to the north.

Meanwhile, standard view rooms have a more limited vista into the boulder-strewn east or north east scenery. All these options have private decks, en suites and all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay, without going overboard on modcons.

Or you can upgrade the facilities to the luxury room, which is a part-thatched, part-canvas dome with a king-sized bed, private deck and swimming pool overlooking the valley below. Private dining and Wifi are also available here, and it’s close to the main area for easy access if required.

The mini suite also has its own pool, and is huddled in the rocks offering a private experience. There’s also an open air bathroom, while private dining can also be arranged.

The mountain suite has its own pool and is set in another private area of camp, with an outdoor bathroom and private dining options available. It’s got wrap-around views, making the most of this spectacular location.
