The Hoba Meteorite, near Grootfontein, Namibia, is the largest known meteorite on Earth and is easily accessible via a well-maintained gravel road, suitable for most vehicles, including 2WD, with the site itself being flat and wheelchair-friendly. Visitors can enjoy a self-guided experience, as information panels provide details about this natural wonder, making a guided tour optional unless part of a broader Namibian itinerary. While generally open year-round, the dry season (May-October) offers the most comfortable weather for outdoor exploration. There is a small, affordable entrance fee (typically a few N$) ON CONFLICT (id) DO NOTHING; a visit usually lasts about 30-60 minutes to fully appreciate the meteorite and read the informational displays. Remember to bring water, sunscreen, and a hat, as it's an exposed outdoor site, and consider combining your visit with other attractions in the Grootfontein area.
