Kaokoland
Ongongo Fall |
was the next stage. The good roads was finish and only one dirt roads. But better as in Tanzania and I think, this dirt roads are the best of the last 9 month. Soon the bush are finish and I saw mountain at the horizon again. It grow not bush and the landscape had more life, I could see over the land in the far distance. The horizon is wide, wide away and not on the edge of the road. This do good for my eyes. Silver grass covered the earth, small bushes and in some parts also a little tree. The fence outside of the road disappeared a longer time before and this wasn't farmland as the days before. I came back in the nature. And which enjoy - the animals from the National park I saw also here. Springbuck, ibex, chamois, antelope and all straight away next to the road. Also the giraffe. It's also possible to see elephants, but you need many luck for this.
My finish of this day was the little village - Warmwasser (Warm water or Warm spring). A German farmer cultivated vegetables before the 1. world war. The village is a lot of huts of corrugated iron and also of loam. There I could found the campsite on the Ongongo Waterfall. 6 km outside of the road and only one for 4WD. A idyllic place, but without shower. I didn't need the shower, then under the waterfall was a warm pool from the hot spring. |

Early in the morning I started and went away to the
North. In Sesfontein was the last possibility to fill my car with petrol and
in the Old German Fort I filled me with 2 draught beer.
I asked the German poeple at the possibility for overnight stay and saw I came back in some days. Under the hot sun I drove to Opuwo. In this area you can't see little tourist. It's a long way from the touristcentres in the middle of Namibia, bad infrastructure and so is this part of Namibia a little bit original and naturally. Well, and "drive of alone" say the guidebook this is dangerous. Bad dirt roads und you are a long time alone. It's possible you don't see poeple some days. But the road was good. I saw many poeple every days. And I didn't know, where is the dangerous situation. But the world here was very, very naturally as before. Little villages with huts of loam or bush wood of single families outside of the road. Not so often corrugated iron huts. I came in the Himbaland.
