Hiking Trails

Two marked hiking trails lead out from Damara Mopane Lodge across its house mountain, through the rocky, mopane-studded terrain typical of Damaraland. Walkers choose their own pace and route, spotting local flora and fauna along the way, from hardy desert shrubs to birdlife and small wildlife suited to this arid landscape. Each trail is well marked, so no guide is required. Depending on the route chosen, a hike takes between one and three hours, making it easy to fit in before breakfast or as a late-afternoon outing once the heat has eased.
