Damaraland

Highlights

Damaraland stretches between Etosha National Park in the north to Usakos in the south, bordering the Skeleton Coast in the west and the B2 National Road in the south. This vast wilderness is one of the last remaining unofficial wilderness areas in Africa. The main attraction is the stunning desert environment. The wildlife is rather sparsely populated. The region is home to several important rock art sites.

Landscape

The main habitat of the Damaraland is the Savannah.

The area impresses with its rugged, rocky landscape and with one of the most spectacular desert landscapes in Africa. Wild desert mountains rise from the Skeleton Coast. Deep gorges, cliffs and rocky outcrops create a perfect environment for well-preserved ancient rock art. Spitzkoppe, the remnant of an ancient volcano, is one of Namibia's most famous landmarks and a popular climbing destination.
