Namib Naukluft Park - The
Naukluft Section
DIRECTIONS:
The best route from the south is the C14 which links Maltahöhe with
Solitaire, while the recommended route from Windhoek, the C24, is joined
about 3 km south of Rehoboth. At Rietoog, however, you turn onto
district road 1206 and follow it for 28 km to Büllsport where the C14
is joined.
Turn onto the D854 signposted about 2 km south of Büllsport to reach
the Naukluft entrance gate about 11 km further down the road.
The park office is 12 km beyond the gate.
ACCOMMODATION:
Accommodation at Naukluft camp is limited to four sites with picnic
tables and benches, fireplaces and drinking water, as well as ablution
facilities.
FACILITIES:
Since there is no shop, restaurant or filling station, visitors must be
totally self-sufficient. Firewood or charcoal can, however, usually be
bought at the office.
SERVICE HOURS:
Sunrise to sunset. Facilities at camp sites are limited to fireplaces,
refuse bins and toilets. Visitors must ensure that they have sufficient
water, fuel and all other supplies for the duration of their stay.
Naukluft Section:

Naukluft Hiking Trail:
A 120 km round trip that takes 8 days to complete.
It is, however, possible to complete only the first part of the hike in
4 days.
Because of high summer temperatures the trail is open only between 1
March and the third Friday in October and tours are only allowed on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays of the first three weeks of each
month.
Groups must consist of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12 persons.
NB: Bookings fees include accommodation in the old farmhouse at Naukluft
the day before the trail begins and the last day of the hiking tour. |
