19. The Brandberg Mountain, Namibia's highest peak, contains the famous "White Lady" rock painting, believed to be around 2,000 years old.

20. The Spitzkoppe, sometimes referred to as the "Matterhorn of Namibia," is a group of bald granite peaks or inselbergs located in the Namib Desert.

ZEILA The Zeila Shipwreck is an offshore fishing vessel that ran aground in 2008. Namibia’s infamous ‘Skeleton Coast’, also nicknamed the “The Land God Made in Anger”, and “The Gates of Hell” is a desolate stretch of desert running right to the sea, where the cold Benguela current create strong currents, rough seas, and dense fogs. The latter in particular have been responsible for the thousand or so shipwrecks along the coast. A great photo-op, especially with the roosting birds that have taken up residence on it, the Zeila is a reminder of the power of nature at the ‘End of the Earth’ where lions hunt seals and elephants wade through the surf.
