DRIVING
The drive is definitely part of the adventure, the scenery is beautiful and constantly changing. From the lush green of South Africa to mountain ranges as you near the Namibian boarder and miles of desert wilderness. Lüderitz is approximately 1200km in total from Cape Town and the roads are very good in general and mainly straight, stretching into a dot into the distance. There is always some wildlife to see like springbok, kudu and even flocks of ostrich, which is why I recommend taking two days to drive with a stop overnight at Springbok (the town) which is about half way and avoids the risk of hitting an animal at night as they do have a tendency to lay on the road at night for warmth.
