Spitzkoppe, often called the "Matterhorn of Namibia," is a group of bald granite peaks located in the Namib desert. It's a popular destination for rock climbing, hiking, and stargazing due to its remote location and clear night skies. Accessibility can be challenging as the roads leading to Spitzkoppe are gravel and require a 4x4 vehicle. While solo visits are possible, hiring a local guide is recommended for climbing or exploring the less accessible areas. The best time to visit is during the cooler months (May to September) to avoid extreme heat. Expect to pay entrance fees and potentially camping fees if staying overnight. A typical visit lasts from a day trip to a few days, depending on planned activities.
