Social Responsibility
The lodge is built in a community conservancy with a concession from the conservancy. Fees are paid to the conservancy on the basis of bed nights. The fees are used for community development. Fees for community guides at the Twyfelfontein rock art site and the Petrified Forest also benefit the community.

* During the dry season, the lodge can be reached in a small 2 X 4 sedan.
* Although Camp Kipwe lies in an arid area, rain in other parts of the country can cause rivers to flow. The onset of the flow is very rapid.
* As a large part of the journey takes place on gravel roads, consultants should switch to an offroad vehicle during the rainy season (October to April).

Hidden amongst the rocks of Damaraland, overlooking wide landscapes that were hunting grounds of the prehistoric Twyfelfontein community, Camp Kipwe, and its blue sky bathrooms, are a very special experience.

New paths are being trodden where the hunters of Twyfelfontein once roamed. Travellers come from far to see their rock art and explore their way of life, seen through their shelters and tools they left behind. This is also the terrain of the desert elephants.

Blending in with the landscape,  Camp Kipwe has wonders of its own. Accommodation is in stone igloos clad in local rock, a natural way to keep cool in the heat of midday. Perhaps the most exciting facet of Camp Kipwe is its open air blue sky bathrooms. Surrounded by rock walls for privacy, travellers can look up and see the naked sky. At Camp Kipwe the magic of the environment meets the magic of living.
