It seems that the roads from Epupa to Opuwo and from Opuwo to Etosha (C35/C40) have recently been improved, and a substantial part of them are now fully tarred.

We will be driving a Toyota Corolla, two drivers. Do you think it feasible to drive Epupa to Okakuejo in one single day? We know this is a long distance, but we are willing to be early morning in the road and drive the whole day. But still, would it be feasible to make it to Okakuejo before the park gates close down?

Thanks,

Yes, this should be doable so long as you get away from Epupa early in the morning.

Epupa to Opuwo is about 3 hours' drive on the unmade road. From Opuwo, if you head east to the main north-south highway (sorry, I forget the number) and then turn south on this road, then you should be able to do this in one day. Do leave early though.
