Mesosaurus Fossil Camp

On the farm Spitzkoppe-Ost we have camping facilities with well equipped bathrooms and a kitchen. We also offer chalets with en-suite bathrooms for those preferring a sense of comfort. For those desiring even greater solitude, we have created a bush camp in an isolated valley. Catering can also be done on prior arrangement. Travel back in time among forests of ancient Quiver trees and Dolorite rock formations on a two hour conducted visit to the Mesosaurus fossils.

The Mesosaurus is probably one of the most convincing examples to prove the drifting of continents. The same genus in the same rock formations is to be found in both southern Africa and South America. In southern Africa the fossils can be found in the Whitehill formations, while in South America they are to be found in the Irats formations.
