Van Zyl’s Pass

The beautiful, but frightfully steep and challenging, Van Zyl’s Pass forms a dramatic transition between the Kaokoveld plateaus and the vast, grassy expanses of Otjinjange Valley (Marienflüss). This winding 13km stretch isn’t suitable for trailers and may only be passed from east to west, which means you’ll have to return via Otjihaa Pass or through Purros.
