8 Day: Namib Naukluft Hike
Heading southwards we reach the Naukluft Mountains in the afternoon. We will
overnight on bunk beds at “Hikers Haven”, the old farmhouse at Naukluft.
The trail starts at the hut and except for two fairly steep ascents, the first days hike covers easy terrain. Much of the trail follows a zebra path with an easy gradient and we are rewarded with spectacular views of the wide valley some 300m below. The overnight stop, “Putte Shelter” takes its name from the nearby well, which is equipped with a hand pump, enabling us to obtain water. Walking time: 6-8 hrs; ascent 200m. Overnight at Putte Shelter
Our hike mainly traverses the undulating plateau when we reach “Bergpos” where we descend down the spectacular
“Ubusis Kloof”. This descent is very difficult and several chains have been anchored at critical points
for ease and safety.
