Cape to Cape So 25 Years ago this week, I jumped on a plane down to Namibia to pick up my Camel 110 that I'd sent down to Walvis Bay in a container a month earlier. The next year and a half or so was spent driving from Cape Town up to the North Cape of Norway. A few years later I sold the truck to a kiwi mate who drove it back to South Africa from the UK and then across Australia before getting back to NZ. He still has it.

camelman Member Since: 27 Feb 2013 Location: Peak District Posts: 3320	Ahhh, Epupa Falls, one of my favourite places. I was based there for 3 months , looking after expedition groups that were travelling in the region. Would have a dip in the falls every couple of days . How far does the tarmac road go now? There is a great drive along the river east from there.

Timcat Member Since: 20 Jul 2016 Location: Tanzania at the moment Posts: 1005	Did the drive to the east ( the river one) As for the tarmac it only goes to Opuwo, the rest is river beds / passes & some great sand sections ( as you probably know) Looking into residency for Namibia & some land

camelman Member Since: 27 Feb 2013 Location: Peak District Posts: 3320	Great place, my brother lived out there for 4 years and I spent 18 months there, mostly working on expeditions for Raleigh International. Would love to get my 130 back out there
