This place is spectacular. There really is no other word for it. The views down into the canyon are incredible. Do stay and watch sunset or sunrise, the colours of the rocks are worth it. There is a large viewing point which is semi-shaded, and a smaller one about 1k further down the road. But if they are too busy you can also pull over anywhere inbetween, or drive down the canyon on the dirt road, and pull over anywhere you like to appreciate the size and majesty of the canyon. It is incredibly hot (this is south Namibia), but the views of the canyon make it well worth a visit.

This ghost town is located +/- 10 km from coastal town Lüderitz. And located in sperrgebiet ‘forbidden – zone’ The town was created after the discovering of some special stones which where diamonds. Kolmanskop became a diamond hotspot. The habitants had a pub, a butcher, a baker, a post office, ice factory and a full worthy hospital. The maximum population the community reached was 1,300.

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...

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.

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

Lovely church, with a lovely architecture, both outside and inside. It's open during the week until 6 PM, during the weekend I found it closed. There was no one inside when I went, so i had a quiet time taking a few photos and absorbing it's simple beauty.
