Usakos — Gateway to Spitzkoppe & Erongo Mountains

Usakos is the natural hub for two of Namibia’s most dramatic landscapes: Spitzkoppe (the ‘Matterhorn of Namibia’) 80km to the northwest via a good gravel road, and the Erongo Mountains 50km to the northeast. The Khan River gorge near town offers dramatic boulderscape walks. Self-drivers using Usakos as a base can combine Spitzkoppe, the Erongo wilderness and Karibib marble all in one two-night loop.
