Location and Access

Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp is based in Khorixas, in Namibia’s Damaraland region. The Twyfelfontein rock art site, one of Namibia’s UNESCO World Heritage landmarks, is just 5.6 km away, while the Petrified Forest lies 43 km from the camp. Khorixas sits along the route many self-drive travellers use to connect the Damaraland region with Etosha, making this camp a workable overnight stop rather than a gate-side property.

Best Suited For

Self-drive travellers touring Twyfelfontein’s rock engravings and the Petrified Forest will find the location convenient. The pool, sun terrace and on-site restaurant also make it a comfortable overnight stop for guests breaking up a longer Damaraland-to-Etosha itinerary rather than staying multiple nights in one place.

Practical Considerations

The restaurant serves African, grill/BBQ and South African dishes, and can accommodate vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free requests. Breakfast is offered as a buffet, continental or Full English/Irish spread. Free WiFi and free private parking are provided, which is useful for guests arriving by rental vehicle. For route planning between the coast, Damaraland and Etosha, the Swakopmund to Etosha Road Trip guide covers this stretch in more detail.

Nearby Alternatives

Other Khorixas-area options include Vingerklip Lodge, Twyfelfontein Country Lodge, Ozondjou Trails and Ohorongo Tented Camp.

About Twyfelfontein

The nearby Twyfelfontein rock engravings, one of the largest concentrations of rock art in Africa, were inscribed as Namibia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. The engravings, made by San hunter-gatherers over thousands of years, depict animals, animal spoor and abstract motifs across the sandstone outcrops of the valley. Guests based at Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp can arrange a guided visit to the site with a local guide, as access to the engravings themselves requires an accompanied tour.

Getting There

Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp lies along the D3254 road in the Khorixas area of the Kunene Region, part of the wider Damaraland landscape known for its dramatic mountains, dry riverbeds and dolerite rock formations. The route between Khorixas, Twyfelfontein and the Petrified Forest is well signposted and manageable in a standard 2WD vehicle in dry conditions, though a high-clearance vehicle is preferable after rain. Self-drive guests should carry sufficient fuel and water, as facilities along this stretch of Damaraland are limited between towns.
