A very special feature of the Brandberg Rest Camp is the largest privately owned swimming pool in Damaraland and the Kaokoveld.

The Brandberg is the highest mountain in Namibia and is famous for the White Lady and other Bushman paintings, as well as its diverse geology.
The mountain is very popular for hikers, offering 3 to 5 day hikes. Hiking and other guides can be arranged on request. Guided tours in Toyota Landcruisers are available in and around the area.
The Brandberg area is also known for its unspoilt beauty, desert elephants, herds of zebra, and springbok roaming free in the wild. You can also buy world-famous Brandberg crystals directly from small miners who make a living selling these crystals.
The main attraction is the White Lady, one of more than 45,000 rock paintings in the area. A 40-minute hike will take you to what is widely believed to be a Bushman painting that is at least 2,000 years old.
Conditions: All tours require a minimum of 2 participants and a maximum of 4. Tours must be re-confirmed on arrival. Tours are conducted in a Toyota Land Cruiser, comprehensively insured for public liability.

Geologically, Spitzkoppe consists of deep-seated igneous magma intrusive rocks aged about 126 million years, intruding into older Damara granites aged about 500 million years. The landscape, shaped by differential erosion, results in the rising inselbergs of Spitzkoppe granite.
