Aabadi Mountain Camp - Namibia

Just about 20 km from our site you can find the famous rock engravings of Twyfelfontein. It is one of the most dense occurrences of rock art in the world: Twyfelfontein contains 2,500 figures of rock carvings and they are about 5,000 years old! In 2007, UNESCO approved it as Namibia’s first World Heritage Site.

Close to the rock engravings you will find a strange rock formation: the organ pipes. This is a mass of basalt slabs in a ravine gouged out by a river. On the C39 from Aabadi Mountain Camp to Khorixas, you’ll pass by the Petrified Forest. A guide will show you some trunks, which are over 250 million years old. At the end of the ice age they streamed from central Africa to southern Africa. At present around 50 trunks can be seen on the site with the longest being more than 30 meters long.

Aabadi Mountain Camp organizes day trips to these special places!
