Travel Information for Keetmanshoop

Keetmanshoop Museum
The museum in the old Mission Church displays exhibits of the natural history, historical documents of the town and the Nama culture. Adjacent, there is a garden with succulents. The museum is open on weekdays from 8h00 to 12h30 and from 14h00 to 17h00. No entrance fee. Tel 063-221256.
 Quivertree Forest
The best time to photograph the Quiver trees on the Farm Gariganus is at sunset. The farm lies some 13 kms north-east of Keetmanshoop and the untarred access is well sign-posted. The so-called "Giants' Playground" lies next to the Quivertree Forest. A walking trail of less than an hour leads through a bizarre rocky terrain. Not a must!
Accommodation on the farm is offered in plastic igloos, not very comfortable and quite stuffy. A campground is also available, clean but very simple. The accommodation options in Keetmanshoop town are much nicer.
