4x4 Self Drive - Bludkoppie to Rooibank |
|
4 X 4 SELF DRIVE : BLUDKOPPIE
Close to Groot Tinkas (55 km northeast of the C28 from Swakopmund) stands the ‘blood hill’ granite inselberg, a popular campsite in the Namib Naukluft National Park. The sites of the western side of the hill are very sandy, requiring 4WD to get there. It is well worth exploring the immediate area, not least fascinating rock formations. About 5 km east of the campsite lay the ruins of a German colonial police station and the graves of two policemen dating back to 1895. Please ensure you have a valid permit.
ROOIBANK
Compared to the Dune 7 branches off from the C 14. You can be around 40 km followed into the botanical and geological diversity of the Namib Desert. The Dunes are mysterious, with fascinating lichen-covered dry beds of rivers. At the end of the trail you will reach Rooibank, a granite mountain in reddish color - hence the name.
A guaranteed exciting 4X4 off road experience
Depart for Bludkoppie, via the Boshua pass. Enjoy the evening camping in the Namib Naukluft Park and head off to Rooibank the next morning. This is the place to be.
