Culture & History

Discover the captivating ancient rock engravings of the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Twyfelfontein on an excursion from the lodge. There's also time to marvel at some of the unique geological sights in the area, notably the eerie volcanic landscape of Burnt Mountain, and the rock formation of the Organ Pipes, with its basalt columns that offer an uncanny resemblance to the instrument the site is named after.

Wildlife Encounters

Head out in an open-air 4x4 vehicle to discover the area's wondrous wildlife. Departing early in the morning, when the land is coming alive with colour and noise, you will search for creatures including majestic desert-adapted elephants. Self-guided nature walks from sister lodge, Mowani Mountain Camp, offer the opportunity to get up-close to the landscape's vegetation, discovering native trees and plants as you wander.
