The Damaraland area surrounding Twyffelfontein Camp is a vast, deserted land. Eternal expanses with ever-changing mountain formations, some emerging from grassy plains or sandy areas. From Twyffelfontein Lodge, with a lit"&"tle luck, you might encounter the desert elephants of Damaraland along these dirt roads. When rain falls over one of the mountains, they follow the scent of the moisture. When we were there in February 2022, we found their clear tracks, but unfortunately,"&" we didn't encounter the convoy of large and small elephants of Damaraland.
