Giants' playground, Rock formation near Keetmanshoop, Namibia.
The Giants' Playground features numerous dolerite boulders stacked upon each other, creating geometric patterns across the landscape near Keetmanshoop.
The rock formations emerged approximately 180 million years ago when molten magma pushed through surface cracks during the separation of Pangea.
Local communities have integrated these natural formations into their storytelling traditions, naming the area after imagined giant children's playing blocks.
Visitors can access the site by traveling 14 kilometers northeast from Keetmanshoop, with an entrance fee of 50 Namibian dollars per person.
The dolerite rocks display distinct hexagonal and pentagonal shapes through columnar jointing, creating a natural maze where visitors need to track their path.
