Hello,
We are planning to go to Namibia this November. I would like to know what are the driving distances and times between the following destinations.
We are planning to rent a 4WD.
Windhoek - Etosha
Etosha - Swakopmund
Etosha - Damaraland
Etosha - Swakopmund
Swakopmund - Sesriem
Sesriem - Windhoek
Thank you very much!
or even Google Maps will tell you...
The driving times will depend on how fast you drive, but most of the legs you mention will be half a day, except Etosha- Swakopmund, which is a day.
My general rule in Namibia is everything is about 5-6hrs drive.
All your above sectors pretty much fit in to this, except I'm not sure where in Damaraland you mean. If it's any help - Etosha to Opuwa fit into my 5-6hr rule.
Speed limit on tarred roads is generally 120km/hr. But you'll only be able to do 80km/hr on gravel. So even though eg Swakopmund to Sesriem looks close enough - it will still take you 5-6hrs. The scenery is stunning anyway, and you'll want to stop along the way.
