Spitzkoppe
What could be described as Namibia's Matterhorn, Spitzkoppe towers nearly 610 meters (2,000 feet) above the plains. Plan to spend at least three to four hours exploring Spitzkoppe's Golden Snake—a gigantic rock formation popular with rock climbers—and the Bridge—an interesting arch-like rock formation. The San paintings at Bushman's Paradise are included in the entry fee and are definitely worth a look. You can visit under your own steam, but you'll get a lot more from the experience if you hire a guide to show you around.
