Twyfelfontein Lodge, Namiba


Twyfelfontein Lodge is situated in the heart of the Twyfelfontein Uibasen Conservancy. The area is a very vulnerable and delicate ecosystem and is renowned for some of the best examples of Bushman paintings and rock engravings in southern Africa and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In construction of the lodge utmost care was taken to reduce the visual impact on the environment and to blend into the mountainside with the use of thatch roofs, natural stone and paint colours toning in with the surrounding rock formations.

Location

Twyfelfontein Lodge is approximately 335 km drive from Skakopmund and between 435 and 500 km drive from Windhoek (depending on routing)

Highlights

  • Among the local fauna, none is more fascinating than the elusive desert-adapted elephant, Loxodonta africana, which permanently occupies the desert during the driest periods. These elephants walk up to 130 kilometres between water holes, covering up to 70km a day and sometimes drinking only every fourth day.
  • Short excursions to the Burnt Mountain, Brandberg, Organ Pipes and Twyfelfontein - famed for the thousands of rock paintings and engravings found there. These paintings and engravings depict animals, hunting and abstract images.

Namibia Review

First of all the people! They are so proud of their country and regaled us with its history and told us all about its enormous quantities of natural resources. We learned so much and would love to return and see more of it. The landscape of the country is unlike anything I've ever seen before -- so...
