Spitzkoppe

Now I take you to Namibia, Africa.
On my journey we camped at Spitzkoppe (from German for "pointed dome"; also referred to as the "Matterhorn of Namibia"), is a group of bald granite peaks or inselbergs located between Usakos and Swakopmund in the Namib desert of Namibia. "The granite is more than 120 million years old and the highest outcrop rises about 1,784 metres (5,853 ft) above sea level. The peaks stand out dramatically from the flat surrounding plains."

Fantastic scenery! I can really feel the rugged nature and the open space here. I might have asked his question before - were you travelling by yourself or was it organised/guided tour?
