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.
