Pointy end

From Swakupmund it was nice to once again travel on tar for a bit. We left town after getting the usual groceries plus a stop at the ‘good food market’ there too. Stocked up with nice fruit, vegetables and some pieces of cow we headed for Spitzkoppe. We took the main tar road there instead of going via Henties Baai as the corrugations had put us slightly off traveling through Namibia. The last stretch from the tar to Spitzkoppe was corrugated enough though for us to try our Tyre inflate and deflate system and we were well impressed that the softer tires took away some of our pain. The last stretch was truly bad though but it has probably been graded many times since I post this 😂. The spitzkoppe camping area is huge and you get to pick your own spot. Lovely! We found a nice place towards the ‘herrero’ and ‘rope ladder’ area and stayed here for 3 nights.

We were a little anxious that this might be a night too many but looking back now, it was one of the best stays we have had in 🇳🇦 Namibia. We explored the immediate surrounding of our campsite, chased lizards and looked for Dassies and 🦅 eagles. Shot many images of the sun setting and rising and even found a chameleon while out exploring. The facilities on site ar perhaps a bit lacking and dated, the showers at the entrance were ‘rustic’ but good on a hot day. All in all we truly recommend anyone to stay here for a few nights!
