Spitzkoppe, Namibia


Namibia's deserts are so fascinating that another attraction deserves mention in this list.


The Spitzkoppe is a grouping of granite peaks in Namibia's Namib Desert, with the highest peak hitting nearly 1,800 meters (about 5,900 feet). This place is heaven for climbers, geologists, stargazers and watchers of weaver birds.
