The Damaraland, home of the Damara people, who live in this desolate and
rugged terrain, hosts some of nature’s wonders.
The Petrified Forest, where giant tree trunks turned to stone over millions of
years. The Welwitschia mirabillis, an endemic plant to the Namib Desert grows
on the stony fields of the Damaraland. Twyfelfontein, resembles a large,
open-air art gallery, treasuring one of the richest collections of rock
engravings in Africa.
Some geological curiosities are the Burnt Mountain with its red
coloured rock and the Organ Pipes, a mass of basalt slabs.
