How to reach us by car

From Windhoek you take the B1 Okahandja, B2 Wilhelmstal to Karibib (180 km tar road) from there you go south for 76 km on the C32 (gravel road), than you turn of onto the P1978 for another 10 km up to the house.

From Swakopmund you go on the B2 direction Usakos pass the "Martin Luther". Then turn right onto the C28 (gravel road) for 154 km up to Anschluß (at the thick post). Turn left for 15 km on the C32 in direction of Karibib. Than turn left onto the P1978 for 10 km up to the house.
NB: There are some dangerous 90° bends in the road in the middle of the Namib.

As alternative you can from Windhoek via the Khomas Hochland passing the Daan Viljoen Park on the C28 (gravel road) for 163 km up to Anschluss (the thick post). Turn right for 15 km to Karibib, than take the P1978 for another 10 km to the house. On this gravel road (C28) you will drive down the Bosuapass. It will take longer drive this way than to drive over Karibib.

Tips for Drivers in Namibia

Please drive carefully and slow on the gravel roads since the car tends to drift away in the bends. If ever you get a car approaching you from the front be happy that you are not alone on the road drive slow put on the lights and watch out for falling rocks. Be aware that we drive on left side like in the UK.

If ever you get stuck in thick sand on the road deflate your tyres and drive slowly with slipping clutch forward and backwards until you are out of the mess. Don't forget to inflate the tyres immediately afterwards for not damaging them.
