Kaokoland
Being on the road in this sparsely populated area (1 person / 2 sq. km) without running across another human soul for days,
I call freedom. In the dry rivers Hoanib, Huarusib and Marienfluß many desert elephants, lions and rhinos drag along.
The view from the plateau of the Kaokoland into the Marienfluß Valley is breathtaking. However, the Van Zyl's Pass,
leading from the plateau into the Marienfluss, not for the fainthearted. Even die-hards should only try their luck with
the company of an experienced tour guide and a 4x4 vehicle.
