Day 4: EHRA to Palmwag Lodge


We started in the morning from the EHRA camp. There were no specific plans as usual other than driving towards north into the Kunene region. On the way we stopped at the Mowani mountain camp situated in the stunning landscapes of Damaraland. I stayed in the camps there in 2008 during my first visit to Namibia. But it’s mainly a luxury resort  with the topmost suites charging around 230 euros/night. As Bru worked in the tourism business they agreed to show us around the different rooms and the facilities they have. The view from the rooms were really amazing, worth the price they charge for the suites. The whole row of cottages where nicely placed between massive boulders, and it blended perfectly with the landscape. They even had a pool in the rocks overlooking the valley. We stayed there for a couple of hours, enjoyed our first cocktail rock shandy and thereafter started towards Palmwag Lodge situated in the Unaib river, in the afternoon. We reached there in the evening. After parking our car in the camping place we then jumped into the pool to cool ourselves down. It was very relaxing evening after the long drive through the heat. At night we cooked some rice and chicken curry for dinner.
