Sadly, after breakfast, we have to leave the banks of the Kunene River behind and drive down through the beautiful Marienfluss to our next destination Puros.

We will be stopping at a famous landmark in Kaokoland called the Red drum. The original drum was a red Caltex 45gall drum that Mr Ben Van Zyl left there after using it as a petrol stash. In those years you could actually leave petrol like this there without it being stolen!! In the end he used it as a marker and called it Rooidrom. The original drum at Rooidrom was taken by Hereros who would fill it with river water and take it to their cattle in the Marienfluss. This is one of the reasons why the area about 20km from Otjinungwa is so badly overgrazed. Chris Eyre, who was the nature conservator there, replaced it with a new drum that he painted red and it was immediately taken again. The last and third drum, he made full of holes and put gravel inside. It is still standing

After Lunch we will stop at the best little shop in Kaokoland, in a small village called Oropembe, for an ice cold beverage. We then follow the Khumib River for most of the afternoon, keeping a lookout for possible sightings of Desert Elephants and other wild life. We will enter the Hoarusib River which takes us all the way to Puros and our campsite. We will spend the next 2 nights here, enjoying the surrounding areas and the silence of nature in the evenings around the camp fire.

The camp sites for tonight will have toilets and shower facilities – again rustic, but we will ensure your comfort and needs are met.

An early start at around 7am finds us heading down the Hoarusib River, crossing over to the Hoanib River at Amspoort and heading to our next destination, the Khowarib schlucht. A long but beautiful day will see us searching for elephants, rhino and other wildlife and experiencing the ever changing landscapes of Kaokoland .We will have the opportunity to refuel at Sesfontein that afternoon before heading for our Campsite.

Our final day of driving will also see us driving in our last river in the Desert rivers tour, leaving the Haonib river behind we enter the Ombonde River. We will be spending most of the day in the river, driving in thick sand and through big dust holes and earning our 4×4 driving badges. A Great way to finish off our unbelievable journey.

Our last night we will be camping outside Kamanjab at the Kaoko Bush Lodge where the Bhejane team will have camp ready and a great dinner to end off our trip.

Sadly after breakfast we have to say our good buys after a memorable trip together, that is until your next Behjane 4×4 Adventure experience.
