Quiver Tree Forest

It is located about 14 km north-east of Keetmanshoop on the road to Koës, on the Gariganus farm.

Near the forest, there is another tourist attraction, spectacular for its unique geology, the Giant's Playground, a vast pile of large dolerite rocks.

The Quiver Tree Forest holds tremendous ecological value within its native landscape.

Bright yellow flowers bloom from June to July, when a huge variety of insects, birds, and mammals are drawn to the abundant nectar.
