Video Details

This adventure takes place in Northwest Namibia and starts out from the old German town of Swakopmund.

After checking out the wreck we turned inland towards the Brandberge Range.

Late in the day we found a sheltered spot to setup camp for the night. We were camped in the middle of nowhere.

Next days objective is to go to the Ugab River.

The Messum Crater was formed by the collapse of a volcano, it's around 135 million years ago.

We reached an impasse. We soon find the riverbed dry and drivable again.

From the Messum Crater this morning we did a lot of dusty and remote driving to reach this even more remote camp on a river not even noted on our trusty map.

The last time we visited this area we managed to travel up the Goantagab River. But this year we couldn't find a way. So Ben doubled back to the Ugab River and will use a ridge trail that parallels the Goantagab.

Once up on the ridge the track looks pretty good. Breaking down out here is not an option.

We drop down from the ridge and re-joined the Goantagab.

We exit the river and take a shortcut towards the Huab River.

Made it to the Huab River but we need to get to the other side. The track leads to a deep muddy waterhole. But Ben is determined to build a route across.

One river crossing accomplished. Time to setup camp.
