Mowani Mountain Camp

Mowani lies near Twyfelfontein in Namibia’s Damaraland, a rugged landscape of rust-colored inselbergs and open valleys. The camp’s elevated position among colossal boulders delivers long views and dramatic sunsets, with a swimming pool and decks that look across the desert. Twyfelfontein’s UNESCO-listed engravings and nearby geological sites—the Organ Pipes and Burnt Mountain—are close enough for unhurried excursions. Access is typically by self-drive or guided overland routing from hubs like Windhoek or Swakopmund, with well-maintained gravel sections common in the region.

The camp offers 15 units in several categories, from View and Superior View Rooms to a Luxury Room and signature suites. Interiors use warm timber and canvas under thatch, with en-suite bathrooms and private decks oriented to the desert. Air-conditioning is available in rooms, complemented by free-standing fans, and Wi-Fi is offered on a limited basis. Select premium categories feature added perks—most notably the Luxury Room’s heated splash pool—while all accommodations focus on privacy, outlook and restful comfort between activities.

Central areas flow between rounded, thatched structures housing the lounge, bar and restaurant, with an expansive deck and a well-situated pool for cooling off and soaking up the views. Dining is relaxed and generous, and sunrise coffees and sunset drinks tend to frame the day’s activities. The camp emphasizes its natural setting, encouraging unhurried time on deck or short self-guided walks around the granite outcrops, with guided excursions arranged to explore rock art, striking geology and desert wildlife.
