Swakopmund to Erongo to Twyfelfontein

We drove back from the farm to Swakopmund then headed north to Erongo. 
The scenery mostly sand and scrubby desert. 
Stayed at an amazing lodge Ali Aiba. Great respite after a dusty ride. 




The following day we drove on a variety of gravel roads varying between white, yellow or red dust. The corrugations varied depending where the graders had been.
The area we were travelling was Damaraland. The hills had amazing granite formations and as we headed north there seemed to be more vegetation in the desert. Despite elephant signs now and again and many eyes looking we only saw herds of goats and cows. 
Eventually we arrived at another fantastic lodge where we were able to relax and admire our surroundings. 
The following morning we went on a trip to view the 2000 year old rock paintings.

We then visited a Darma village set up for tourists to show their life style but did provide the villagers with an income.
