Yes, Soussusvlei/Sesriem and the roads leading there is a must. Try do the gravel between Walvis and Windhoek. Also Spitzkoppe. The road...

Talk to the AA. They have the details and cost. For our trip it was the way to go, but we included Uganda and Kenia. Just make sure your...

We travelled up to Uganda last year using a carnet. You have a choice: you can buy one for 10 or 24 border crossjngs. It was something...
