Okaukuejo waterhole

Reviewed By DanielD525 - London, United Kingdom

Had the pleasure of viewing the waterhole for 2 mornings and 2 nights, with the added bonus of residing at the delightful waterhole chalets just a few metres away. Got to keep in perspective that this was our first self drive experience, so we didn’t want to hog all our time here and not travel through the park. We just kept viewings before brekkie and after dinner, with the rest of our time spent in the park. We saw many people fixated with the waterhole, but there are great opportunities to be had with the use of personal energy and desire to get what you came for in the first instance, but we understand the luxury of animals arriving while you sit back and take a pew. The area consists of lots of seating, lots of people and lots of silence. But the more people present then silence seems to become more difficult even if it does benefit the welcoming of animals. Though visiting January low season, we still managed to see many elephants, black rhino’s, zebras, wildebeests, warthogs and various types of antelope. A great experience especially when you have nowhere to go once the gates are shut for the night, and when gates are open during daytime then entrance looks relaxed even for those not actually staying at Okaukuejo...

Spreetshoogte Pass

Reviewed By L1588GOpeterw - Turramurra, Australia

We took the climb up the Spreeshooghte Pass and down again en route from Sossusvlei to Swakopmund. If you have the time, it’s worth the diversion as the sweeping views out to the west are magnificent. The road Is concrete blocks, so very easy.

Twyfelfontein

Proclaimed a national monument in 1952, this is one of the most famous rock art concentrations in Africa featuring more than 5,000 petroglyphs and 200 rock paintings.

Reviewed By 825vicky - Brisbane Region, Australia

We were on an arranged 12 day tour around Namibia which included a visit to Twyfelfontein. Once you park at the designated parking space it is a short walk tot he reception that has a well stocked gift shop and a small shop with refreshments. It is run by the local people and you are allocated a guide who takes you around explaining the paintings and answering questions. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. THe painting are beautiful and apparently only a precentage of what is actually still in the area

Woermannhaus

Reviewed By Shimnik - Delft, The Netherlands

Right now Woermannhaus is used as a library and art gallery. You can find a guard in the yard and ask him to get to the tower. It costs 20N$ (1,5 USD). The views from the top are nice on a sunny day. And you would have 360deg observation desk for yourself, because there are usually not so many people interested to get up without a lift.

It was very interesting to see that meteorite, a gift from our universe to Earth. The size of the meteorite is impressive, a good opportunity to take a picture of you near it.
