Despite its foreboding history and barren appearance, the area makes for a fascinating and absorbing port of call for anyone planning on travelling Namibia’s ‘northern loop’, and though expensive and tricky to reach, there are some excellent accommodation options appearing which provide an outstanding base from which to explore one of the world’s last few remaining true wildernesses.
