Day 5
Today you are taken to the Mokuti Airstrip in time for your scheduled light aircraft flight into Damaraland. The flight first stops at Ongava Airstrip before continuing on to Twyfelfontein Airstrip in Damaraland. Damaraland is typified by displays of color, magnificent table topped mountains, rock formations and bizarre- looking vegetation. The present-day landscape has been formed by the erosion of wind, water and geological forces which have formed rolling hills, dunes, gravel plains and ancient river terraces. It is the variety and loneliness of the area as well as the scenic splendor which will reward and astound you, giving one an authenticunderstanding of the word ‘wilderness’. Upon arrival at a local airstrip, you will be met by a local guide who will transfer you to the camp with time to settle in. This afternoon you have the option to join for a scheduled shared activity with a lodge guide or you can simply relax, with time to enjoy sundowners appreciating the unique surroundings of your camp in the Damaraland wilderness.
Mowani Mountain Camp

Day 6
After an early breakfast you will be treated to an exciting 4×4 excursion along the ephemeral Aba Huab and Huab River valleys to explore this remarkable region and to search for game, including the elusive desert adapted elephants if they are in th e area (activity is on a shared basis with a lodge guide and vehicle). Damaraland is home to a variety of desert adapted wildlife and hidden desert treasures. As the elephants are mostly active in the mornings you will normally have the best chance to see them then before returning to camp for lunch. Your guide will arrange to fit in a visit to Twyfelfontein and other nearby attractions at a suitable time if you haven’t already done so the previous day. On return to camp there should be time to take a walk into the local area with your guide if desired, or simply relax and enjoy some well-deserved leisure time. Later this afternoon, your private naturalist guide will meet you at the camp and will accompany you until you leave Swakopmund for Sossusvlei.
