Damaraland and Toyotas

The Matterhorn of Africa

This is class
... . The normally dry salt pans of Etosha give way into a sandy landscape. In the middle of all this is Spitzkoppe. A strange and magnificent savannah dominated by large red rocks, that just beckoned to be explored. We spent the afternoon bouldering ...
Leopard Alley, Right Next to Snake Rock
In Spitzkoppe we stayed in a remote camping site under the granite mountains of Namibia. Unlike many of our previous camps, we had no end to the amount of room we had. Most of us clustered together for safety, but Elena, seeking a little privacy set her ...

Spitzkoppe - Matterhorn of Namibia
... as well pleased that we did spend just one more night camping amongst the red granite smooth rocks in this ancient part of Namibia, Spitzkoppe is also known as Matterhorn of Namibia rising some 600 m above the flat surrounding land. It reminded me a bit ...
Sleeping Under The Stars
... was having some issues as well, losing plenty of speed going up each hill which slowed us down more and meant that we got to Spitzkoppe too late to do the walk to the Bushmen paintings. I think people were suffering a bit from sitting on the hot truck for ...

Campsite at Spitzkoppe
I think this has to be my favourite place of the trip. We arrived yesterday afternoon and watched the sun set over the rocks. Rosey and I were up at 6am this morning and climbed up to a shoulder on the rocks to watch the sun come up. ...
Stinking seals and Lion King Land
