Twyfelfontein Country Lodge detail

Situated in the remote and extraordinarily beautiful Damaraland region of Namibia, Twyfelfontein Lodge lies in the Twyfelfontein Uibasen Conservancy, famous as the site of some of the best examples of Khoisan rock engravings and paintings in southern Africa. The area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007 and remains a highlight of this rewarding semi-desert destination.

The lodge has been constructed to blend into the surrounding rock formations and the result is a stunning design as well as a well-appointed base from which to discover the secrets of Damaraland.

Excursions include guided cycling trips, hiking, and nature walks as well as visits to the famous rock art site. You may also see animals such as desert-adapted elephants, black rhinos, giraffes, mountain zebra, and ostrich while on game drives.
