It is the end of rainy season but it is still hot and so far we had only short showers in the evenings and nights…
Sunrise time is at 6.30 and at 6.45 we were already on the road.
Just after the checkpoint on the outskirts of the town we strated to drive the C27 gravel road. I was a little bit afraid – we drive the small, cheap VW polo and this is 2WD car. How it will go on the African unpaved roads?
This gravel road was surprisely good. I drove easy 60 km per hour enjoying the wonderful landscapes of green Namibia. Springbok sometimes cross the road. The traffic is minimal (1 car per hour, maybe). The highlight was the view from Gamsberg Pass.
We reached the tiny “in the middle of nowhere” settlement of Solitaire. Time to refill. Petrol costs already 10 NAD per l but our little car does not consume much fuel…
Little and big wild amimals along the gravel road. But wery few farms…
We reached Sesriem Camp in the late afternoon. For 230 NAD the will give you the place for your tent with water and el. power. Time to take a shower and rest… Hiena was loughing cloce to our tent in the middle of the night. Birds were talking all night…
