About Hoba Meteorite

The Hoba Meteorite, located near Grootfontein in the Otjozondjupa Region of northern Namibia, is a natural attraction that remains in its original landing site. Visitors can explore the meteorite up close and enjoy the surrounding amphitheater area designed for observation and education. This site is significant because it is the largest known intact meteorite on Earth, weighing over 60 tonnes. The meteorite’s unusual flat shape, combined with the absence of a visible impact crater, makes it an important geological and historical landmark.
