We travel in a north-eastern direction to one of Namibia’s best known landmarks: the Big 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 our arrival at the Spitzkoppe we drive around the mountain and view several attractions like the Rock Pool”, the “Rock Arch”, the “Snake Cave” and some interesting bushman paintings. The rich vegetation at the Spitzkoppe provides ample opportunity to study some of the flora of the Namib Desert, e.g. Acacia species and “Kobas”, the Buttertree, 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 species of weaver birds.

After a leisurely lunch break it is time for our return-journey to Swakopmund.
