Chiwani Safari Camps  fasst unsichtbar liegen sie wie zufällig inmitten  Granithügeln, eine architektonische Meisterleistung. Chiwani ist der ideale Ausgangspunkt für die Naturfahrten mit den Glücksmomenten wenn die Wüstenelefanten sich zeigen, oder sich das Unesco Weltkuturerbe Twyfelfontein sich vor den eigen Augen ausbreitet. 

Mowani Mountain Camp

Mowani Mountain Camp mit dem sicherlich bekanntesten Sundowner Spot Namibias. Soll es die luxuriöse Mowani Mountain Suite sein, die Mini Suite, das Superior View Zelt oder lieber ein Standardchalet mit Extrazelt für die Kinder?

Sustainable eco-tourism and community upliftment is of the utmost importance at Mowani. Guides from the local tribes compliment day-time game drives to track mountain zebra, kudu, springbok, klipspringer and if you are fortunate enough... the leopard! The adventurer in me took over at Mowani. Days were filled with game drives, hot air balloon trips over the Aba-Huab Valley, champagne breakfasts and al fresco meals amidst the dusky landscape beneath Mopani trees.

Activities offered include Elephant / Nature Drive (+- 4 to 6 hours in the morning), Twyfelfontein, Burnt Mountain and Organ Pipes Excursion (+- 2 hours in the afternoon).

Camp Kipwe

Camp Kipwe die kleine Schwester von Mowani mit klimatisierten Rondavels oder auch der Suite. Nachhaltig mit Solar betrieben

Designed to creatively embrace the granite boulders, the camp embodies its Swahili meaning as it "blesses" the mind, body and soul of every traveler that makes the journey. Taking advantage of the nearby Aba Huab River and all consuming expansive landscape, Kipwe offers a refreshing perspective on
traditional safari life.
The camp is nestled in the boulders, facing out onto superb scenery. Incorporating boulders, small red basalt rocks and mopane branches, it has a natural organic feel. The 9 rooms + 1 suite are round in shape, with large outside decks to admire the view. The outside, partially open bathrooms adjoining the bedrooms have boulder, cement and rock walls, and roofs of rough mopane branches. Hot water is supplied by wood-burning 'donkey' boilers.

Activities offered include Elephant / Nature Drive (+- 4 to 6 hours in the morning) and Twyfelfontein, Burnt Mountain and Organ Pipes Excursion (+- 2 hours in the afternoon).

Mowani und Camp Kipwe Nachhaligkeit

We love our people and pride ourselves in being a part of the conservancy we operate in. We believe our community, wildlife and environment should continue to thrive beyond our time here. We invest in the backbone of our structure, our people, through training. Staying true to ‘umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu’, we are currently in the process of setting up a community vegetable garden so as to purchase our vegetables from a community-based vegetable garden in the conservancy as well as support other projects. Being cognizant that we aren’t the only ones that inhibit this space, we expanded the waterhole to ensure a herd of 18 elephants have enough to drink when they pay us a visit. Our interest spans far beyond our conservancy, and we proudly support the desert lion project. To preserve our natural environment, we planted indigenous plants which are harvested and replanted around the lodge and waterhole. We ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ all our refuse and use energy saving bulbs as well as solar geysers to reduce our carbon footprint. The lodge was also designed with this mind – a high roof and ventilation ducts - results in a temperature change from inside and outside, of no more than 5 degrees on hot days.

Damaraland/Twyfelfontein

Damaraland and Kaokoveld demand a certain level of respect. Beautiful, but arid and unforgiving, attractions near this area have names like Burnt Mountain, the Petrified Forest, the Skeleton Coast - all aptly named and an indication of the drama found here. Occupying a huge, harsh stretch of landscape to the northwest of the country, even the people and wildlife have adapted accordingly.

The Himba, a tall, slender and statuesque people, rub their bodies with red ochre and fat to protect their skins against the climate. Desert adapted elephants have special behavioral characteristics, large annual and seasonal ranges and a social structure and daily activities to cope with the environment.
Sundown in Damaraland is an exceptionally beautiful period of the day known as the Golden Hour and what better way to spend it on the top of a rocky outcrop above Camp Kipwe enjoying a cool and refreshing cocktail and relaxing while the sun sets over the Etendeka Mountain range.

Damaraland is known for its diversity of geology, landscapes, fauna and flora. Being that Camp Kipwe is located within the Twyfelfontein conservancy in Damaraland we have easy access to the best that this area has to offer. One of the most sought after attractions in Damaraland is the Desert adapted elephants. Although they can be difficult to come by, our knowledgeable guides use their tracks and last known position to find the elephants amongst the vast amount of winding riverbeds and hills. If you are lucky the elephants may even come up close to the vehicle as if it were one of their herd, giving everyone a most unforgettable experience.

Bird life around Camp Kipwe is abundant and for the bird lovers out there we have quite a verity of species that visit our fish pond and can be observed while relaxing in the lounge at Camp Kipwe.

After a long day of activities, settle down to a delicious dinner on our lounge deck, looking over the moonlit Damaraland, while listening to the nocturnal sounds
