The experience
A 1,728 m bald granite inselberg rising straight out of the Namib plains — natural rock arch, San rock paintings, community-run campsites, and some of southern Africa's darkest stargazing skies.
Fly-in safari itineraries run Sossusvlei-to-Etosha and bypass it, leaving it to self-drivers and campers.

It's only worth the detour Apr–Oct. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
