2. Deadvlei

No filters needed - this place really looks like all the pics you see online. Incredible dead black trees, on near perfect white cracked earth, with burning red dunes, and perfect blue sky - remarkable. Hike up Big daddy, but start as early as possible - trailblazing will make it harder, but it gets stunningly hot 2-3 hours after sunrise.... This is a top 5 world locations for me - just amazing

4. Cheetah Conservation Fund
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 488 reviews
A unique opportunity to experience conservation in action! CCF is the global leader in cheetah research, conservation, and education. Its Centre, 44 km east of Otjiwarongo, is open to the public all year round (8 am - 5 pm) except Christmas. CCF works to keep cheetahs in the wild and educate the public. However, it provides sanctuary to injured or orphaned cheetahs, many of which cannot be released back into the wild. Learn about the cheetah's plight, watch them being fed or exercised at high speeds, meet some of our scientists. Our Model Farm teaches farmers how to co-exist with predators. Visitors can meet some of CCF's Livestock Guarding Dogs and their flocks of sheep and goats. You can also try our home-made goat-milk cheese, ice cream or fudge at the Cheetah Cafe. Cheetah View Lodge and Babson House luxury accommodations available and an educational campsite for school groups available.

I arrived just before feeding time with the meat (Donkey - I think) portioned out. The keepers were very informative and open to all questions to enhance your experience. The cafe and gift shop were also good and had extra experiences you could do. I did the Cheetah drive which again was very informative and drive through an enclosure observing the cheetahs. I worthwhile experience in the CCF and what they are doing to help and protect this graceful animal.
5. Spitzkoppe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 379 reviews
Though this is the country's most well-known mountain, at 180 meters it isn't the tallest.
Reviewed By yulneverroamalone - Montreal, Canada
Spitzkoppe is a beautiful location and should be included in anybody's Namibia exploration! The beautiful granite peaks have stood in this region for more than 120 million years and they are a marvel to photograph. We stayed at the Spitzkoppe Rest Camp which is a very affordable campground. Park entrance and permits for 2 people, plus one vehicle, was $360 N (about $32 CAD). There are a few lodges in the area, but the prices aren't even comparable. The park itself is beautiful and is well known for Natural Arch. Spitzkoppe is the perfect getaway, and with no light pollution, you're sure to experience a night sky filled with stars.

The Damara living museum is a must place to go to get an understanding of how the Damara people of Namibia used to live. The participants are passionate in keeping their traditions alive and pass on a lot of their native traditions to the younger generations.
