Day 4
Palmwag Lodge |
After breakfast enjoy a day trip to Sesfontein and its surroundings. Visit one of the 6 springs at the mountain slopes of Sesfontein (hence the name “Sesfontein”) and a one-time German fort which has been restored and today functions as a lodge. The old military cemetery with its lonely graves conjures up memories of the German Colonial period. Alleviate the midday heat in a natural “pool” of the Ongongo Waterfall near Warmquelle, where the crystal clear water of the pool is inviting and refreshing. An ideal venue for lunch! The return trip leads through the Khowarib Gorge - a fairytale gorge through which the Hoanib River has laboriously wound its way. The tour ends on arrival back at Palmwag |
