Nice RR.  Ek het die trippie 2 jaar terug gedoen, awesome.  Jammer julle het Epupa gemis, dit was my hoogtepunt.

next time kom jy saam ons! dan doen ons epupa!
 
Epupa and the section from Kunene River Lodge to Epupa is an absolute must - especially if there's been rain - the falls transforms into an amazing sight.
 
We got our last supplies form Opuwo shops... including some meat for the camp at van Zyl’s.

Van Zyl’s Campsite this is just before van Zyl’s pass. Not well maintained but still a treat.
Here we asked a local for water and he sold us 6litres for R20.

I’m not a video editor expert I just took the interesting to see parts out of a bunch of recordings form wouter’s gopro.
No fancy music or anything.... here you don’t get to see the 40 degree heat at times.

we didn’t plan to camp at Marble camp but the reception was so inviting... and with the idea of running water and cold beer... we took the rest of the afternoon easy... what a highlight!

Congrats on braving and making VZ Pass - it's not for sissies. Video; If you listen in, you can hear Wouter's heart pounding ....

You guys had the right bikes for the job. I've seen many take heavy bikes and half kill themselves and the bikes.

His gopro is mounted on his neck brace close to his chest...

One needs small bikes... but also the company of Braam from Oshakati.

An expert motormechanic... but also knows the area and the people well.

Its very advicable to contact him if doing this trip... for rescue purposes....

And if he has the time... to be your guide.
