Explore Spitzkoppe

Spitzkoppe is located just three hours from the capital of Namibia – Windhoek – and provides the perfect adventure for any person. Reachable on tar roads (a rarity for Namibia), Spitzkoppe is an iconic granite destination that gives its visitors lots of adventures from technical climbing, to mountain hiking and photography, basically anything that can suit all types of visitors!

The tallest part of the park, Spitzkoppe, can be climbed, although climbing experience is highly recommended, especially as you get higher on the granite boulders and peak. But there is a fun and adventurous trail from the back western side that you can ascend to reach the halfway mark that gives amazing view points of the park.

You can also take a guided tour (ask at check in) and view some of the oldest cave art in the world left by the nomadic people as well as take a guided driving tour of the game reserve featuring several springbok and zebras.

While you are in the park be sure to take in the sunrise and sunset at the rock bridge (arch). If you’re looking for the best picture, sunrise is best (and also much less crowded)! There are also numerous campsites spanning the park, but campsites 3 and 4 offer amazing views of Spitzkoppe, especially illuminated in the morning “golden hour.”
