About This Private Spitzkoppe Tour from Swakopmund
Spitzkoppe's bald granite domes, often described as the Matterhorn of Namibia, rise from the gravel plains between Usakos and Swakopmund. The operator's route visits the Rock Arch and the Rock Pool and stops at sites with San rock paintings, followed by a relaxed lunch outdoors. The day also passes through the Moon Landscape near Goanikontes, where the ancient Swakop riverbed has carved a maze of bare ridges and valleys, and the return journey includes a stop at a gemstone shop.
