Between the Ugab and the Huab Rivers, in southern Damarland, lies a vast and unspoilt wilderness area exhibiting magnificent desert sceneries, unusual geological formations, archeological sites and a unique variety of desert flora and fauna. Twyfelfontein is in the middle of this area.
The name Twyfelfontein means "doubtful fountain". It was given to the place by a sheep farmer, Mr. David Levine, who was in doubts that a spring existing in the area could supply water for cattle all year round.
The Twyfelfontein area is renowed for its interesting and characteristic rock formations, for rock art, carvings (petrogliphs) and paintings (pictograms) and for desert adapted elephants.
Not far from Twyfelfontein is possible to see the remainder of prehistoric volcan actions visiting sites like Organ Pipes, Burnt Mountain, Doros Crater and the Petrified Forest.
