This full day tour was really worth while because of the excellent organization and the beautiful landscape. Our driver and guide André is a wonderful person and in his friendly manner he told us a lot about his country and this great area we were visiting. On a rock site we had lunch and with surprise we noted that even champagne was served. We can only recommend this tour and are looking forward to return to Namibia soon.

You arrive at Spitzkoppe at aprox 10:00 and then.Your fist stop is viewing the ancient bushmen artwork.
After learning about the geology of The Spitzkoppe, you will have ample time to relax and explore the area and make use of the fantastic photo opportunities.
While you are exploring we set up lunch which is an assortment of finger snacks, cold drinks, wine, beer and local sweets.
From here depart to the local gemstone market, an informal market that sells semi recious stones that are mined in the area, here you have the chance to purchase some of them. This will also help the locals as this is the only income many of them have.
From here we return to your accommodation to conclude the tour.
