Footprints of Dinosaurs

Two sets of dinosaur tracks spanning 30 to 40 meters remain preserved in Etjo sandstone, displaying the movements of ancient creatures from 200 million years ago.

The site was discovered in 1925 by Friedrich von Huene and received national monument status in 1951, marking its importance for Namibian archaeological research.

The location connects modern visitors with prehistoric evidence through carefully maintained tracks that demonstrate the geological changes of southern African landscapes.

The farmstead charges an entrance fee of N20.00 and provides camping facilities, showers, and accommodation options for visitors exploring the prehistoric traces.

Researchers identified tracks from two distinct species within the ichnogenus Saurichnium, including Saurichnium damarense and Saurichnium tetractis, measuring between 7 and 15 centimeters.
