Twyfelfontein Country Lodge Lodges in Damaraland
Twyfelfontein Country Lodge is situated only 4km from Twyfelfontein and is an excellent place from which to explore the attractions of Damaraland. The Twyfelfontein area, a very vulnerable and delicate ecosystem, is renowned for some of the best examples of rock paintings and engravings in Southern Africa. Interesting rock formations and the remains of prehistoric volcanic action can be seen in the Organ Pipes, Burnt Mountain, Doros Crater and the Petrified Forest amongst others. The lodge, situated in the heart of the Twyfelfontein Uibasen Conservancy, has 56 en-suite double rooms, a reception area, lounge, curio shop, dining room, bar and swimming pool. It was designed to minimise the visual impact on the environment and blends into the mountain side with the use of thatch, natural stone and paint colours that blend with the surrounding rock formations. The fauna and flora near the lodge include the Welwitschia, moringa and a variety of the Commiphora species. The desert-adapted elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, springbok, and ostrich are amongst the wildlife that can be found living in harmony with the community and the communal farming activities of the Conservancy.

Activities Donkey-cart rides Game drives on request Hot air balloon flights Walking trails Scenic flights Horse riding
