Highlights

The Spitzkoppe Mountain is one of Namibia's best known landmarks and is also known as the Matterhorn of Africa. On our way to the mountain we pass through a village populated with the indigenous Damara people who sell semi-precious stones at very reasonable prices. We drive around the mountain and view several attractions like the "Rock Pool" and the "Rock Arch" as well as some interesting bushman (San) paintings.The rich vegetation at the Spitzkoppe provides ample opportunity to study some of the flora of the Namib Desert. Several endemic bird species can be seen as well.


After a leisurely lunch break clients have an option of visiting and viewing some more bushman (San) paintings at the "Bushman's Paradise".

    Visit the Spitzkoppe, also known as the Matterhorn of Africa. This so-called "Inselberg" is a granite outcrop which rises 780m above the surrounding Namib Desert; its total height above sea level is 1728m. After passing the entrance to the Spitzkoppe Park, your tour guide will drive around the mountain and show you several spectacular rock formations like the "Rock Pool" and the "Rock Arch". The rich vegetation at the Spitzkoppe provides ample opportunity to study some of the flora of the Namib Desert, for example Vachellia (Acacia) species and "Kobas", the Butter tree, milk bush and Commiphora species, as well as 'Beesklou" and Cleome species. Several bird species can be seen, as for example the Pale-winged Starling and swallows as well as species of weaver birds.
