Although not very high on people's travel list, overlooking Namibia as a prime destination for a road trip would be a mistake. If you're coming from South Africa, the journey to this country couldn't be easier. This road trip takes you up to Windhoek, then west to Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, then back south to Sossusvlei (Namib Desert), and Kolmanskop (and a return to South Africa).
