"Mowani Mountain Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 25 May 2022
"A stylish and comfortable camp, built to a high standard to blend in with the boulder strewn hill top on which it stands, with evocative views over the Twyfelfontein landscape.

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

"Mowani Mountain Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 8 Mar 2022
"The most wonderful place in a stunning location. Everything first class! Staff very friendly and helpful.
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

"Mowani Mountain Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 29 Jan 2022
"In hindsight I would not have done another camp In Damaraland after the last one. I'd also note that since our first two experiences were so great our expectations were high.

The location of the camp and it's integration into the boulders was amazing. The sundowner location overlooking the cliff was great too. The food was below expectations. One evening we had a been served some tough meat and the manager didn't offer to replace the dish. My wife and I thought the manger tried a bit too hard and his attention to the guests was a bit forced and not sincere.

One after noon we went on a hike, took a wrong turn and found ourselves in the staff accommodation area. We were really disappointed to see the liquor bottles and trash strewn across the beautiful landscape around the area." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Mowani Mountain Camp review"

1 night Arrived 1 Sep 2021
"Loved the location of the camp amongst the boulders.

Perfect sundowners spot.

Drove myself to Twyfelfontein and the White Lady of Brandberg (on the way to Swakopmund) and didn't participate in any camp activities - I don't find a "non-applicable" option for activities." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Mowani Mountain Camp review"

1 night Arrived 5 Dec 2020
"Always worth a stay. It was our 2nd visit there and we did not regret it.

The camp is built within impressive rock formations - which offer a great view during a sundowner.

Some of Namibia’s best rock art gravings can be visited nearby at Twyfelfontein." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Good but not amazing"

1 night Arrived 21 Oct 2020
"Stunning location and beautifully designed rooms with fabulous views.

Dinner was lovely – excellently cooked steak followed by a rather poor dessert, and breakfast was also very good. However, the mattress and pillows were uncomfortable and the shower was poor. I also didn’t particularly warm to any of the staff or our guide.

There is a very cute family of rock hyrax living in the rocks behind the main restaurant area." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
