The Desert - Namib Adventure

Tweet

"The Spitzkoppe, is a group of bald granite peaks or bornhardts located between Usakos and Swakopmund in the Namib desert of Namibia. The granite is more than 120 million years old and the highest outcrop rises about 1,784 metres above sea level." THAT IS FACT. Traveling to our neighboring countries in Africa is not at all like crossing border in Europe or Asia, it happens to be more of an ADVENTURE into the unknown as every country in Africa offers something unique, not to be found anywhere else. The Black Continent definitely has variety of natural views and most are supremely breathtaking. Today i share with you our visit to Spitzkoppe near Usakos or otherwise called the "Matterhorn of Namibia" in the Namib desert as detailed above in the Facts of the place. The photos will start you with our views on arrival, tented mountain camp site, night ambiance, sun setting, shadows in the dry river bed, the Nature reserve rest camp and the amazing camp sites and the views on the departure. I hope you all enjoy. DID YOU KNOW: *The Spitzkoppe Mountains were also the filming location for 2001: A Space Odyssey in The Dawn of man sequences. *Before the First World War what is now Namibia was German South West Africa. Interesting!
