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".

The tour was provided by Hans-Dieter, an old German/Afrikaans/English speaking Namibian gentleman. It was the full day tour that I enjoyed a lot! I was picked up at 9 a.m. and brought back at around 4 p.m. Be aware that the Spitzkoppe is around 160 km away, so that you spend quite some time driving. Despite if the age, Hans-Dieter is very active and can assist you very well. The lunch provided was very tasty. No complains, only positive memories.
