Folks, I am doing my research and going through these forums but would appreciate some advice. I have a 3 month trip through Namibia and Botswana planned and booked up until I finish at Epupa Falls on the 13th May 2025. I need to return the hire 4WD to Windhoek on the 31st May before returning to Australia.

The hire company will not let us drive Van Zyls pass, and I am keen to experience the Marienfluss. The vehicle is a fully equipped Hilux from Bushlore, and I have many years of 4WD experience here in Australia and more recently in Botswana and Namibia.

My plan from Epupa, for which I am asking a sanity check re distance/travel, days at each location, and making the most of the landscape views, is.

14/5: Epupa to Opowu and then onto the end of the Hoarusib riverbed trail, Near Mt Himba Sphinx.
15/5: Marble Mine community camp
18/5: Puros Canyon Camp
19/5: Elephant Song Camp
20/5: Palmwag Lodge Camp
21/5: Twyfelfontein
26/5 - 27/5: Brandberg
28/5 - 30/5: Spitzkoppe (via divorce pass from Brandberg)
31/5: Windhoek

As you can see I have 4 free days to work into this trip.

Any advice gratefully received.

Kevin
