Description of route:

his is a very nice trail at the Namib-Naukluft Park on the Namib desert (Namibia). At the beginning of the trail (where some olive trees are found) you start climbing a slope to the top of the mountain. Then you go down to a river bed following a beautiful gorge (there you will see some quiver trees). A slight difficulty is found at the end of the gorge where you have to use a chain to cross a very narrow pass. We found some baboons and Kudus on our way.
