Up to Sesfontein there are good gravel roads. From there up north the wild Kaokoland begins with its beautiful yet challenging tracks: a good 4x4 and some experience of off-roads driving are sufficient to enjoy the beauty of the area, but for all clients that want to be escorted to the Elephant Lodge we offer a daily service with departure from Sesfontein at 12:00. At the same time clients coming from the Lodge will be dropped to be able to continue their journey. Here the details:
