Itinerary and highlights
Spitzkoppe is one of Namibia's most recognizable landmarks. It is the place where the San, better known as Bushmen, made their home centuries ago.
On this full-day trip into the desert, we will stop at various places of interest to break up the journey and showcase the desert.
The desert is a beautiful landscape, and you will see quite a few variations on it, from the dunes to the flat gravel plains of the coast, the Swakop river canyon, and the grassy plains, Spitzkoppe rises majestically before you.
