Twyfelfontein Lodge, Namiba

Contact a specialist about Desert Rhino Camp, Namiba

Twyfelfonteing 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.

  • 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.
