Rocky desert, dramatic geology, Brandberg, Twyfelfontein rock art

Namibia

Damaraland

Damaraland is a rocky desert with some of Namibia's most dramatic geological features, eroded mountains, hills and koppies made up of granite boulders.

Valleys are littered with loose rocks. Rivers run very occasionally to fill their normally dry sandy bed with a brief torrent. South African control saw Damaraland proclaimed as a self-governing homeland, since re-integrated.

Damaraland's highlights include one of the few original indigenous black rhino populations, desert adapted elephants and welwitsia - the weird and wonderful plant of the desert.

Brandberg is Namibia's highest peak, standing high from surrounding areas like Ayre's Rock. The White Lady of Brandberg is one of the country's best known rock paintings.
