The Brandberg is the highest mountain in Namibia and is situated
in the Namib desert which is about 80 million years old. At the
foot of the Brandberg and flowing through this, the oldest desert
in the world, is the Ugab River from where the Brandberg rises to
2606 m above sea level.Situated in the Damaraland region, this magnificent
mountain is made of granite which contains the mineral Feldspar,
giving this monolith and the surrounding hills a redish hue at sunset
and sunrise.Rhe Welwitchia plant, which is usually found growing
on flat desert ground, can amazingly be seen hanging from the cliffs
surrounding the Ugab River at the foot of the Brandberg. Despite
hot, dry and arid conditions, the region hosts a wide variety of
wildlife, including the famous desert Elephant. Springbok, Oryx,
Zebra & Ostrich can also be seen in the most of the region.
On some of our trips you even have a chance of seeing the rare Black
Rhino. For birdwatchers, Damaraland has a large variety of bird
species.
