Mowani – luxury as nature intended. In the heat, dust and stunning landscapes of Damaraland, there is a sanctuary – Mowani Mountain Camp. Dwarfed by massive ochre boulders, the camp is absorbed into the landscape, making it one with our shared history of life in this prehistoric land. Every soft curve or ragged edge frames the landscape in a different way, as if you are seeing for the first time, every time. Relax in a sparkling pool, enjoy a sundowner, and pause, breathe in and know that this is luxury as nature intended it.

Nature drives along ancient dry riverbeds reveal life that in its sparseness reminds us just how special it is. Rare, desert dwelling elephants, springbok, gemsbok and jackal roam these plains, while their images are found etched in the rocks at Twyfelfontein, Namibia’s first World Heritage Site.

Secluded amongst the boulders, Mowani‘s guest rooms are a testament to the surroundings, where a sense of elegance and earthiness prevails. Winner of an architectural eco-design award in Germany, the organic nature of the design is felt through the camp. Colours, textures and comforts envelope you, while the vaulted cathedral like thatched ceilings are Africa’s way of paying homage to nature.Mowani offers 12 en-suite rooms with views into the rocks, across the valley or hill top vistas, a luxury room and 2 luxury suites, with a spacious lounge and deck for enjoying meals in peaceful seclusion. There are also 7 campsites with stunning views across the valley and private ablution facilities.

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. Local villagers are welcoming and keen to share their experiences. Nature Drives (+/- 4-6 hours in the morning) explore the area searching for the rare desert adapted Elephants.

Enjoy a Nature walk in the area surrounding the camp to explore the smaller details of the bush up close and personal.
