About Petrified Forest
The Petrified Forest, located in the Kunene Region, showcases 280-million-year-old petrified trees from the Permian period. This remarkable site offers guided tours along a marked trail to view the stone-encased trees while interpretive signs explain its geological history. Visitors must preserve this national monument, making it a unique destination for those interested in Earth's ancient history and geology. Its arid desert location near Damaraland also provides opportunities for wildlife sightings, including desert-adapted elephants and oryx.
