Gamsberg Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Khomas region, Namibia
The protected area contains the flat-topped Gamsberg mountain, which rises to 2,346 meters, making it the fourth highest peak in Namibia.
The Khomas highlands, where Gamsberg Nature Reserve stands, formed a natural barrier between the inland regions and the Namib Desert over millions of years.
The reserve maintains its status as a fundamental site for astronomical research, with plans for the Africa Millimetre Telescope installation in the area.
Visitors can access the reserve via the C26 road at Gamsberg Pass, with accommodation options including guest houses and tented camps near the premises.
The location offers exceptional stargazing opportunities as the area experiences minimal light pollution, creating perfect conditions for astronomical observations.
