Video Details
This adventure takes place in Namibia and starts out from the capital Windhoek. In this episode Ben and I are going to show you how to explore Namibia independently. We start out from the Urban Camp, A campsite within the city limits.
From Windhoek, we head west towards the coast. There are multiple ways to get to the coast. The most obvious is a paved highway with a lane in each direction. But we opted for a dirt road. In fact, most of Namibia's roads are dirt.
Gamsbert Pass
We go down to Naukluft Park. Desert country but it's not all sand dunes as most people think there are vast plains, valleys and mountains and all kinds of landscapes, but all of them have one thing in common, they're dry.
Ben was looking for routes down to a riverbed.
Giant rock formations in the middle of the desert. Home to flies and strange plants. In the distance I spot desert zebra.
Later on we spotted horses in the distance. And finally we spot the red dunes which indicate the river nearby.
Even though the riverbeds are dry, the green areas provide food for the elephants. Where they drink? I don't know.
It's getting late in the day so it's time for us to find a place to camp.
We're air camping. Which means we camp wherever we want.
We're packing up to go. Ben has discovered that we have a diesel leak. He claims it's only a few drops. Time will tell.
Once we start driving, Ben smells diesel fuel. It turns out that the leak is a big issue. We head to town to have the car repaired.
Wildlife!
Ben likes to eat lunch and open spaces near the sand dunes.
He's quite organized when it comes to mealtimes. I like a little calcium shell. I don't have to take vitamins in the morning. That would be a six egg omelette?
Ben detailing the car.
He noticed some bird droppings on the car, so he wants to open up a detailing business on this spot it seems.
Time to get back on the main road and head to town. But before we reach Swakopmund, Ben discovers a playground for boys.
The route from here is either along the beach or on a paved road.
Swakopmund is a traditional German town displaced from Germany and located in the deserts of Namibia.
We spent the night in Swakopmund in order to have the fuel leak repaired the next day.
