Imagine a land that is harsh in terms of temperature, geography and availability of food. Now picture that same land - hauntingly beautiful, with astounding physical features, and a multitude of colours at different times of the day. That is what
Damaraland is like.
Key highlights are...
- Spitzkoppe granite formations
- Incredible San rock painting collection
- Rock engravings
- Petrified Forest
- The Vingerklip, Burnt Mountain and Ugab Terrace
The region boasts some of the finest collections of San rock art in Africa and amazing rock formations and is also one of the most scenic places in Namibia.
The Himba people with ancient roots, the desert-adapted Elephants, Black Rhino, the Ugab terrace, the Vingerklip (finger stone), the Brandberg (burnt mountain) are all part of what make Damaraland a spectacular area that almost warrants treatment as a complete destination on its own.
