Welwitschia Drive, Namibia
In the northern corner of the Namib-Naukluft National Park, the Welwitschia Drive is perhaps best treated as a short excursion from Swakopmund. Don’t forget to get a permit first.
This is a route through the desert along which are 13 numbered stone beacons at points of particular interest. It takes about four hours to drive, stopping at each place to get out and explore, and culminates at one of the country’s largest, and hence oldest, welwitschia plants.
