Like a phoenix rising out of the ashes, the dramatic shape of the striking Spitzkoppe rises out of the haze of the Namib Desert. Renowned as the Matterhorn of Namibia, the 150-million-year-old granite boulders are one of the most photographed mountains in Namibia, and with good reason. These boulders mean one thing to hikers and rock climbers alike: paradise. Take a walk into ancient Namibian history as you view the on-site rock paintings telling a story of the past and all its intricacies. Of course, like everywhere in Namibia, there is no lack of photo opportunities. The famous rock arch begs to be photographed, either with your travel companions thinking up entertaining poses or simply with the dramatic surrounds. After hiking or cycling, the natural pools entice you to wind down as you take a dip to celebrate a day well spent.
