The Spitzkoppe




Day 3 - At The Spitzkoppe.

Today we enjoyed a whole day at the Spitzkoppe, a range of mountains over looking the vast plains of the desert. On route we stopped at the roadside to see the roadside sellers and their collections of semi-precious stones. Many of the party brought souvenirs to take home, whilst also seeing first hand the traditional Namibian way of life.

When at the Spitzkoppe the students had a couple of hours to explore and climb the huge mountain formations. Then our guide lit the “brill” (BBQ) and cooked the food he had marinated the previous day. After lunch we all set of for the perfect spot to watch the sunset. As you can see from the photo it was a spectacular spot and a memory that will remain for a while.
