"Mowani Mountain Camp review"
Food was excellent and our guide, Rosie, was outstanding. She even has a herd of Desert Elephants named after her !
Only drawback was the terrible gravel road, D2612, off the C35 to get to the camp. It was totally unsuitable for an SUV. We'd have been better off taking a long detour and staying on the C35. Future gests should be warned of this." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Mowani Mountain Camp review"
Only men in front of house who didn’t understand the minutiae of hosting. Our welcome chat mostly consisted of what wasn’t included and the extras we would incur.
Also room not provided with fresh water each day. We were sadly disappointed with this camp" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

Activity-wise, few animals in the area other than elephants. On the plus side, there were a large number of elephants and nice opportunities to get close and observe for long periods of time. The petroglyphs are worth the visit, but other nearby points of interest (Organ pipes, Burnt Mountain) were disappointing to anyone who has traveled a bit and seen columnar basalt. And you can't hike in the Burnt Mountain area.
Our activities guide Bennie was friendly, knowledgeable, and from the nearby town of Khorixas. Having guides from the local area was a real plus, as we ere able to learn more about local culture and politics." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

Can walk independently around the lodge.
Good for visiting rock carvings and finding desert elephants. Good bird watching from the lounge." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

Unfortunate to only find one elephant on our nature drive (not usual) but our guide worked hard and we had a relaxed long time with him. The guide’s knowledge was very good and her bird spotting and identification was excellent.
The excursion to see the ancient rock art was interesting and informative." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
