The Brandberg massif nests south of the Ugab River, about 40 km northwest of the small dust town of Uis.
When leaving Uis, turn right on the C35 road and after 30 km, turn left on the D2359 road leading to the White Lady.

Brandberg is appropriately named after the glowing ruby red color it takes at sunset.
It is believed that the area was once a volcano set in a vast plateau of volcanic rock some 120 million years ago.

After years of chemical and weather erosion, the surrounding lava stone vanished back into the heart, exposing the massive dome of granite that once was the magma chamber.

The exposed chamber, which is now known as Brandberg, has been shelter and home for the San for thousands of years and holds great significance to this day.

It is also an internationally renowned site for ancient rock paintings, including the famous White Lady Rock Paintings, seen from Maack's Shelter.
