"Mowani Mountain Camp review"
Chalets are all located amongst the rocky outcrops giving complete privacy.
Highlight of our stay was the game drive to see the Desert Elephants. We saw a lot and from vey close quarters. One walked past our vehicle just a few fee away.
No need to take a Sundowner Drive as you can walk up to the viewpoint where they have a bar and cushions to sit on and watch the sunset." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

We went on a trip to see the desert adapted elephants. We passed lots of vehicles on the drive but were very lucky that there were only 2 vehicles at the time we saw the elephants. Overall, this activity felt more touristy than I was expecting.
The food was good and the staff professional. Our only criticism would be that some of the waiting staff were obviously angling for individual tips which made us feel uncomfortable. We religiously put tips in the staff box so that all the staff benefited." See all these reviews: 23n in Namibia

We went on a trip to find the desert elephants which was one of the highlights of our trip.
Was probably the most crowded trip of our holiday in terms of the number of cars round the elephants but the herd was large and didn’t effect our enjoyment of the activity." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

Food was excellent and our guide, Rosie, was outstanding. She even has a herd of Desert Elephants named after her !
Only drawback was the terrible gravel road, D2612, off the C35 to get to the camp. It was totally unsuitable for an SUV. We'd have been better off taking a long detour and staying on the C35. Future gests should be warned of this." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

it was cold as the central area is open to the elements. good food and choice.
rosie the guide was great fun, knowledgeable and skilled at finding wildlife. loads to see that was not on the survey and we got so close; 2-3m in some cases.

"Mowani Mountain Camp review"
Only men in front of house who didn’t understand the minutiae of hosting. Our welcome chat mostly consisted of what wasn’t included and the extras we would incur.
Also room not provided with fresh water each day. We were sadly disappointed with this camp" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
