Geology and Mining expedition

A WhyAfrica and Endorphin Expeditions journey

An overland journey from Cape Town through Namibia reveals one of Earth’s greatest geological stories. The Cederberg Mountains showcase ancient Table Mountain sandstones sculpted by erosion, while the Richtersveld exposes some of southern Africa’s oldest metamorphic rocks. Crossing into Namibia, the vast Fish River Canyon cuts through layered sediments and volcanics, unveiling deep time. The Namib Sand Sea at Sossusvlei displays spectacular dune systems shaped by wind over millions of years. Spitzkoppe’s towering granite inselbergs reflect Gondwana’s breakup, and the Etendeka flood basalts of Damaraland mark massive volcanic events during continental rifting.
