Spitzkoppe Nature Reserve is one of the favorite locations for astro-photography, but also a highlight when visiting Namibia. But also the golden hour is a fantastic time to be there. If you want to stay in the camp, you can either book the lodge or one of the camping spaces.
It is not possible to recommend the perfect location in such a huge National Park, because the animals are changing their walking routes daily, but I want to tell you at least my favourite spots where we spotted a pack of lions and several herds of elephants. Nevertheless, you can find many different spots always close to the water holes.
We spotted the pack of lions parallel to the east-west road between Okondeka and Adamax in the North of Okaukejo near 18°59’37.6″S 15°50’07.3″E in the early morning. After entering the park at sunrise, we moved directly to the north and had luck to spot the king of jungle/desert. When the road crossed the path of the lions, we were really close to these amazing animals. It was a moment, which we will never forget.
