As if an African kingdom of old, Damara Mopane Lodge is constructed in a semi-circle of interlinking pathways leading to a lavish swimming pool at its centre. Innovatively designed, each of the 60 chalets has its own small garden. Bright yellow sunflowers peep out between verdant spinach, beetroot and zany scarecrows, creating an enchanting lodge setting. The labyrinth of walkways leads to a large and cheerful central area.
A highlight at the end of a perfect day in Namibia is to ascend the hill to a viewing platform for a sweeping vista of the mopane woodland illuminated by the setting sun. It also is the best spot for a sundowner drink and to gain a view of the intriguing construction of the lodge. Guided birding walks are a perfect activity in this oasis amidst the ancient landscapes.
Whether sitting on your porch looking out onto your vegetable garden, swimming in the pool or celebrating sunset from the deck, this novel and delightful lodge situated near Khorixas en route to the famed Twyfelfontein engravings, incorporates the spirit of Damaraland and the Damara people, extending its hand to locals and visitors alike in a 'Hello neighbour' greeting, linking cultures and nationalities.
