Etjo, Mountain summit in Damaraland, Namibia
Mount Etjo rises above the surrounding landscape, forming part of the Okonjati Game Reserve with a waterhole frequented by local wildlife species.
The Mount Etjo Declaration, signed at this location in 1989, marked a crucial step toward Namibian independence through negotiations between political parties.
The name Etjo translates to 'place of refuge' in local language, reflecting its role as a sanctuary for both wildlife and humans in the region.
The summit serves as a reference point for travelers exploring the area between Windhoek and Etosha, accessible through gravel roads crossing the reserve.
Fossilized dinosaur footprints near the mountain base provide evidence of prehistoric life forms that once inhabited this African landscape.
