Rosh Pinah Geo Centre, Karas Region, Namibia
4.5 (9 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #1 in Rosh Pinah Speciality Museums
Great Mineral Exhibition and Geological Knowledge in one house
The Geo Center in Rosh Pinah was a 'must see' when we planned our 3 weeks journey through Nambia. The Mineral Collection is just spectacular and very well structured and maintained. Great examples of all main mineral locations of Namibia (like Rosh Pinah, Erongo, Tsumeb) are displayed. The very experienced geologist and owner of this center (Gisela Hinder) gave us great insides into the Geology of the surrounding. We booked a half day tour with her and learnt a lot about the deposits and mining activities and went to places that normal tourists would not get to. Definitely worth a visit to spend an hour for the mineral collection or booking a half day tour with Gisela to do a Geo Tour.

Surprised
I was pleasantly surprised by this centre. There's various displays with different types of rocks, meteorites and many other items. The owner explains everything in detail and can answer all the relevant questions. At the look out point you can see the whole town and the beautiful mountains. Worth the stop.

Enjoyable
Definitely a spot to see in Rosh Pinah. Entry is only 30 Namibian dollars, so its cheap and you will definitely feel enlightened with all the rocks and stones and the history behind it.
