Johanesburg to Lueritz
 

Hi,

I have to travel from J'burg to Luderitz in Namibia, will rent a car, have a query regarding the road condition in namibia, the "short" option is to go straight to the Namibia or driving west through SA and then up?

Any thought

The shortest route is probably the Trans Kalahari Highway via Botswana and Windhoek. The second option is to go via Upington and cross the border to NAM at Vioolsdrif. The second suggestion is IMHO more interesting. There are the Aughrabies Falls. After crossing into NAM you could travel along the spectacular Fish River Canyon north to the B4, where you turn lest (westwards) to Luederitz.

In any case, try not to travel at night. You don't see the landscape, and risk a collision with wild animals, esp. in Botswana.....
