Kaokoland - place of Thirst, Fairy Circles and Stone Men
The last time we visited Kaokoland we experienced water and flash floods like never before, getting stuck in one river for over four hours. So, when I saw just how much rain Namibia had received at the beginning of the year, I started experiencing serious déjà vu.
I am always apprehensive to ask questions about road conditions on the various Facebook off-road groups as too many couch experts freely vomit inaccurate knowledge on the unsuspecting traveller, making them reconsider their intended route for no good reason. However, on this occasion, I thought I should put some feelers out and see what the conditions were on our planned route through Kaokoland, knowing I could back this up with some local knowledge once we were up there. Desiree and I had wrapped up our Ultimate Kalahari Adventure just before this trip started, so we arranged to meet our group of guests for the Kaokaland Adventure at Kalahari Bush Breaks situated just inside the Namibia border.
It seems that many people are still very nervous about crossing borders due to additional COVID-19 regulations needed and the fear of being at a crowded border post with no social distancing. I am happy to report that the border crossings into our neighbouring countries are running smoothly, and all COVID-19 precautions
