Twyfelfontein is a must-see destination for anyone planning a Namibia safari. A UNESCO’s World Heritage Site, Twyfelfontein is home to the single largest collection of Bushman rock engravings on the African continent. For 6000 years, hunter-gatherers and the Khoi-khoi occupied the area and left their mark.

In between Usakos and Swakopmund, in the middle of the Namibian desert are the Spitzkoppe. This is a group of bald granite peaks, these peaks are known as the Pontok Mountains. The highest peak is around 700 meters high. A lot of activities can be done around here like, climbing, hiking and stargazing.
