Mesosaurus Fossil Camp

Where past meets present ... your soul meets nature

When looking out over the harsh landscape of our Mesosaurus Fossil Camp, it is hard to imagine oneself standing at the bottom of an ancient lake. True to Namibia, this is a place of contrasts and diversity, with earth's history written clearly in the beautiful rock formations.

Mesosaurus Fossil Camp is situated approximately 40km from the turn off to Koës on the C17, coming from Keetmanshoop.  Our camp and activities for example the unique fossil tours are something really special in Namibia.  Furthermore our Quiver Tree Forest and the “giant’s playground” is also worthwhile. Enjoy breathtaking scenery and rustic accommodatiom in the south of Namibia.
