Spitzkoppe Nature Reserve

If you are a keen camper, you have to spend at least two nights at the Spitzkoppe in the Erongo area near Usakos. The Spitzkoppe, meaning sharp hills, is one of Namibia's most recognisable landmarks and indeed its most famous mountain. With its blue skies and contrasting red granite 'sculptures' it lends itself to outstanding photographic opportunities. While at Spitzkoppe, you should also visit Phillip's Cave which is known for its rock art and archaeological findings as well as the Erongo Singing Rocks.

Note - if you are a day visitor, you need to enter the park at this point that is on our maps: Eastern Entrance Gate (Grosse Spitzkuppe) - this is where you will pay your park fees.

If you stay at Spitzkoppen Lodge, you can use the road to Spitzkoppen Lodge from the Spitzkuppe Game Reserve Entrance Gate point. The Lodge will provide you with a key for the gate. You do not pay park fees then.
