Twyfelfontein is one of Damaraland’s well-known attractions and the first site to be declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site in Namibia. The gallery of ancient rock engravings give one a glimpse of the lives lived by the Khoisan-people many years ago in this dry and barren area.
Despite the heat and the dust - which is part of everyday-life - the beautiful landscapes and spectacular sunsets make a visit to Damaraland an important part of a tour through Namibia.
Mowani Mountain Camp offers 7 exclusive campsites, set between massive ochre boulders, not far from Twyfelfontein and central to the huge variety of attractions of Damaraland.
