Epupa falls
Kunene Attractions, Namibia
OkongwatiThe Epupa falls, a Kunene attraction, is in the Kunene River which forms the northern border between Namibia and Angola. We also found a massive baobab tree close to the waterfall.

The red drum
Kunene Attractions, Namibia
OrupembeThe red drum, also know as "Die rooi drom" is a land marker placed so that people know where they are. This was done way before the days of GPS.

The journey to the drum, is much better than the destination. Roads leading here are man made and driven out by 4x4. The Van Zyl's pass is also relatively nearby...The red drumX

This is the easier alternative to the Van Zyl's pass. It still has a lot of loose rocks. We were driving downhill from east to...

Marienfluss valley
Kunene Attractions, Namibia
OkongwatiThe Marienfluss valley, a Kunene attraction, is a sea of grass. The whole valley is full of sand blown in from the kalahari many centuries ago. The valley is surrounded by black rock cliffs, with a flat bed of red sand in the middle. The grass fills every part of the Marienfluss, except for the road and some fairy circles. Nobody knows why nothing grows in these fairy circles. Be sure not to stop with a hot exhaust in some grass. On the way a wreck of a car is...Marienfluss valleyX
