From
Swakopmund we drive towards
north and visitan old steam
engine „Martin Luther“
at first which was thought
of as a replacement for the
ox wagons in 1896.
You will hear
interesting stories about
the colonial times of German
South west Africa while we
continue towards the Spitzkoppe.
Here we find and can buy semi-precious
stones and minerals. The Spitzkoppe
area is famous for unique
plants such as Hoodia, Butter
tree (Kobas, Cyphostemma Currorii),
and Bushman tea (Myrothamnus).
The island mountain developed
through erosion, and the folk
named it „Namibian Matterhorn“.
Bizarre rock formations, fascinating
colour contrasts - it is a
photographic paradise. There
are numerous ages old bushman
paintings reflecting on a
time gone by untouched by
the western world. Small antelopes
called Klipspringer and rock
dassies can be viewed here
. On request, we will serve
you a nice picnic at a beautiful
shaded place with a great
view. On our way back we pass
the coastal town Henties Bay
and arrive in Swakopmund at
around 4 pm.
