Gamsberg

Located in central Namibia, Gamsberg rises to 2,347 meters above sea level, featuring a prominent granite peak and surrounding desert terrain.

The mountain has served as a critical navigation landmark for explorers and travelers crossing the Namibian territories since early colonial expeditions.

The Gamsberg region contains numerous private farmlands where local communities maintain traditional agricultural practices while preserving the natural environment.

Visitors need permits and four-wheel-drive vehicles to access the mountain area, as the terrain consists of unpaved roads and rough paths.

The mountain location offers exceptional conditions for astronomical observations, leading to plans for installing the Africa Millimetre Telescope at its summit.
