The Campsite
Mowani Campsite
Mowani Campsite sits among the same granite boulders as Mowani Mountain Camp, near Twyfelfontein in Damaraland. Each pitch is tucked into the rocks for privacy and has a wide view over the plains and flat-topped mountains.
Every site has its own bathroom with a shower, basin and flush toilet, a wash-up area, a braai and a shaded table and bench. Hot water comes from a wood-fired boiler, which the team lights for you on request.
At reception there is a swimming pool, Wi-Fi and a small kiosk that sells firewood, ice, cold drinks, braai packs and snacks. It makes a comfortable base for the Twyfelfontein engravings and for drives to find desert-adapted elephants.
