Namibia

Damara Mopane Lodge

PLAN MY TRIP

Built in a semi-circle of interlinking pathways like an African village, Damara Mopane Lodge is unique and vibrant safari lodge near Khorixas in the vast, arid desert of Damaraland.

Accommodations at the lodge consist of fifty-five inventively-designed chalets. Each spacious and air-conditioned room is furnished with two comfy twin beds, a desk, bedside table, mosquito netting, and a tea and coffee maker. The en suite bathroom comes with a shower. A twin room is also available for those with restricted mobility. However, what stands out about these rooms is their individual vegetable gardens where bright yellow sunflowers smile warmly between rows of spinach and beetroot as zany scarecrows stand guard. Every chalet enjoys a private veranda where guests can relax and enjoy the views.

The lodge is located near the town of Khorixas in the Damaraland region of Namibia en route to the famed Twyfelfontein engravings. The lodge sits within one of the driest and most desolate regions in all of Africa. Because water is scarce, this scrubland is home to a varied assortment of desert-adapted wildlife including elephants and black rhinos who can go for days without water. Gemsbok, kudu, springbok, Hartman’s mountain zebra, southern giraffe, gemsbok, lion, cheetah, and spotted and brown hyena call this desert home too. Birdwatchers will delight in the over 240 species recorded here.

The region is great for hiking and guests are invited to explore Damaraland on their own with two different self-guided hikes to choose from. This is the best way to discover the local flora and fauna in depth. The hikes are well-marked as they wind their way between the stunning Damara Mopane Lodge house mountain. At the end of the day, guests can ascend the hill to the viewing platform for a sundowner and a panoramic view of the mopane woodland. The lodge is close to Burnt Mountain, Organ Pipe Rocks, and the rock engravings of Twyfelfontein.

The maze of interlinking walkways leads to a large and cheerful central area. The main lodge houses a bar and a restaurant where fresh vegetables are served straight from the cottage gardens and guests can enjoy the warmth of the fireplace. There is also a refreshing pool and sundeck for cooling off and relaxing during the heat of the afternoon.
