Kaokoveld is the name given to the impassable area in the northwest of Namibia. It lies between the mountains of the high plateau and the Namib Desert in the west. The Kaokoveld is considered inaccessible and a major challenge for “full-size” 4×4 vehicles.<\/p>\n

Of course, this area is very appealing to us – but can we venture into it with a 4×4 Sprinter? We receive support from experienced travel colleagues from Switzerland and South Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Opuwo – D3707<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

On June 6<\/strong>, we set off early in the morning from Opuwo and drive to Kaoko Otavi. The “road” – D3707 – should be “good” for another 70 km according to our GPS map Tracks4Africa, only along the Hoarusib River should it turn into an inhospitable dirt road. But far from it. After Kaoko Otavi, the gravel road turns into an already challenging track, which only allows an hourly performance of about 15 km. There are already two dry river crossings coming from the east, which are very steep and require off-road walking. Our hearts are sinking and we are already thinking of giving up because we think that the slope conditions can only get<\/strong> worse. But as is the case, curiosity still drives you forward. Fortunately.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
