Doros Crater

An ancient volcanic intrusion south of Twyfelfontein, whose ring-shaped walls enclose a basin; a destination for 4x4 off-road and geology enthusiasts.

Located about 20 km south of Twyfelfontein, a 4x4 track branches off the dirt road D2303 near Burnt Mountain and leads to the crater rim. The rough road requires a high-clearance 4x4 and a GPS track, and it is best done with a guide from a local camp. The area is a conservation area and may require a permit, so check at the camp before setting out. The route is desolate, with no supplies along the way.
