"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

Worth doing desert elephant trip: tracking them down and then viewing very close in natural habitat." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

We booked a 'superior view ' room which enabled us to watch the sun set from our own balcony ——what a treat .
There is a relatively easy signed walk around the camp, takes about an hour and a quarter, to further appreciate and enjoy the camp's setting." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

Access can be tricky as road up to lodge very poor (D2612) probably easier to access from Skeleton coast.
We saw baboons whilst staying here - we didn’t go looking for elephants - but more than happy to stay at the camp and enjoy the amazing bird life." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
