Walking among the rocks
Choose a route that suits the heat, terrain and your group. A local guide can bring more context to a landscape that is easy to admire but rewarding to understand.
Granite peaks and an open sky.
Spitzkoppe
Spend time among the granite rather than treating Spitzkoppe as a photograph on the way through. A night or two changes the visit, giving you the early and late light as well as the middle of the day.

Stay for the change in light
Walks, photographs and a quiet place to sit can make a full afternoon here. Choose accommodation around how you want to experience the landscape and the facilities you need, particularly if you are considering camping.
Climb with the right support
Spitzkoppe also belongs on a climber’s map. A climbing day needs planning around ability, equipment, conditions and appropriate guiding. Let us know your experience before we explore options, and give the activity a day of its own.
Places and experiences
Climbing with the right support
Tell us your experience and ambitions before we propose a day. The guide determines the route, equipment and suitability; a scenic walk is a good alternative.
A night in the landscape
Camping and lodge stays offer different comforts. Decide whether you want a simple outdoor night or a room to return to, then plan the rest of the route around it.

When and how to visit
Choose the base
We match the location of your stay to the activities and the next stage of your journey.
Leave time between outings
Outdoor plans should suit the temperature and your experience. Discuss footwear, equipment and water with the guide before the outing.
Confirm the details
Your proposal identifies actual stays, transport, meals, activities and any extras.
Keep exploring
How long should we stay?
1–3 nights is a useful starting point. Add time if the activities here are a priority, or simplify the wider route rather than rushing the stay.
Can this fit a self-drive trip?
We can explore self-drive and privately guided options. Specialist activities use their own guides and arrangements.
What happens next?
Tell us your dates and the rest of your route. We will work through the stay, the travel day on either side and the experiences you want to include.
