Location:
 |
Between
the Ugab and Huab Rivers in Southern Damaraland lies a vast and
unspoilt wilderness. This area boasts magnificent desert scenery,
fascinating geological formations, archaeological sites and a unique
variety of desert fauna and flora.
It's also the Southernmost roaming
ground for the rare black rhino and desert elephant. This is where you
will find the Twyfelfontein Conservancy and the Mowani Mountain Camp.
Mowani is taken from
the word M'Wane, meaning "Place of God", and it is here, that you will
find the true meaning of peace and tranquillity. Mowani Mountain Camp
nestles amongst the boulders of this beautiful area on a high spot
commanding distant views over the ancient landscape.

Accommodation:
| The
luxury tented accommodation is built unobtrusively, so as to ensure
minimum impact on the natural environment. The stilt-like supports
of the tents ensure that very little excavation was needed in order
to create this special oasis. Much care has been taken with the
design of the public areas, creating the impression of an African
Village, with dome-like thatched structures that blend in with the
imposing boulders which are scattered around the outcrops.
There are plenty
of ways to relax at Mowani. Discover the pool deck, lodged
between the boulders where you can soak up the sun whilst
enjoying a refreshing drink, admiring the breathtaking views
from you pool lounge. The Boma of Mowani is the ideal setting to
reminisce over the day’s excursions, and plan the next day’s
exciting events, whilst sitting around the warmth of the fire.
Your room at
Mowani will be another great source of relaxation. All the rooms
are extremely private, while still offering an open view of the
wonderful landscape. We even have a special honeymoon suite
available to those who prefer absolute isolation and privacy.

the services of our excellent staff, who want to make your stay

Staying at Mowani, a
traveller can easily join in an excursion to explore the prolific site of
Twyfelfontein. Twyfelfontein is a rare example of paintings and engravings
occurring at the same site.
This wonderful archaeological site offers more
than 2,500 engravings as well as various paintings, and is probably the
finest example of rock engraving in southern Africa.
The images depicted
here are photographs of some of the artwork done centuries ago by the
first humans (bushmen) who lived in the area.
