DAMARA MOPANE LODGE – DAMARALAND
Damara Mopane Lodge is constructed in a semi-circle of interlinking pathways leading to a lavish swimming pool at its centre. Innovatively designed, each chalet has its own small garden planted with vegetables and bright yellow sunflowers peep out between verdant spinach, beetroot and zany scarecrows creating an enchanting lodge setting!
The lodge has 55 bungalows and the labyrinth of walkways leads to a large and cheerful central area. A wash of fresh green brightens the interior as does the heart-shaped mopane leaves stencilled throughout the lodge.
A highlight at the end of the day is to climb 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.
