Damara Mopane Lodge Gondwana Collection Namibia
Damaraland lodge in mopane woodland, 20 km east of Khorixas
Skip to product information
Twenty kilometres east of Khorixas on the C39, Damara Mopane Lodge sits low in mopane woodland, its 60 chalets arranged in a fan-shaped, maze-like layout across the property. Each room keeps its own small garden behind a low wall, with sunflowers visible over the top from the private stoep. It is a compact, self-contained base. Twyfelfontein's rock engravings lie 100 km off, within reach for a half-day out and back.
Rooms are simple and twin-bedded, with air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and tea and coffee laid out for early risers. A pool gives relief from the heat of the day, and a restaurant and bar cover meals and evening drinks. In the evening, a path climbs the hill behind the lodge to a viewing platform, where the mopane woodland runs out flat toward the horizon as the sun drops. You can hear the quiet settle in after the light goes. Two self-guided hiking trails cross the surrounding hill country, running from one to three hours, and a guided birding walk covers ground rich with resident and migratory species. Guides also run full-day trips to track desert-adapted elephants and visit a Damara cultural village nearby. Check-in runs from 2pm, checkout at 10am.
