Spitzkoppe Rest Camp Some years ago there was a robbery at Spitzkoppe where a tourist came to death. The local Damara community barred the formerly free access to the Spitzkoppe.The area around the mountain massif was declared a conservancy and fenced off. Now, day visitors pay an entrance fee of 20 Rand per person, the vehicle costs 10 Rand. A restcamp was established with a guarded campground and plain bungalows with 2 or 3 beds. The bungalows cost 100 N$ per person (including breakfast). A camping spot costs 20 N$ per person. There is also a bar and a curio shop, so the community can reap some benefit from all the tourism. Guided tours and climbing expeditions are offered. Bookings are arranged through Tel 064-530879 or through Nacobta in Windhoek, Tel 061-250558.  AmeibAt the road 1937 in the Erongo Mountains, lies the farm Ameib, which is also open for day visitors. The scenery is spectacular there and you can go on beautiful walks. In the Phillips Cave, numerous rock paintings can be seen including the famous "White Elephant". The huge granite boulders of Bull's Party are particularly interesting. Ameib offers a campground, chalet accommodation and a restaurant. Tel: 064-530803. |
