Mopane Tented Camp

Lodges in Kaokoland

Ohakane Lodge, and Mopane Tented Camp share the same management - with Mopane Camp being a more rustic establishment situated 5km from the lodge. The camp is built on the steep banks of one of the tributaries of the Hoarusib River. All the tents are built in the shade of large Mopane trees.

The camp consists of 15 luxury tents, each with beautiful sleeper wood double bed, innovative space for hanging clothes and a verandah with chairs - an ideal spot from which to watch the sunset. There are communal ablution facilities consisting of flushing toilets & showers - some of the tents also have en-suite facilities.

Mopane Camp is built on communal property. A community fee is payable by all guests on a per person per day basis. These fees are then paid to the community leaders who use the money for development in the specific area, mostly relating to water and education. The community is consulted on a regular basis regarding present and future development at Mopane Camp. Staff at the camp are employed from the surrounding community and trained in various aspects of the hospitality industry, for example cooking, housekeeping, guiding, working as waitress, etc. The community in the area consist of both ovaHimba and ovaHerero families.

Visits to Himba villages are organized from the camp. The area offers the possibility of short unguided walks for the guests. The river has interesting rock formations, where there are cool rock pools for swimming during the rainy season.
