Getting to Kamanjab
4h 55m from Windhoek on the B1, C38, then the C40, 459 km, all of it tarred. Every price below buys the whole vehicle rather than a seat, and is fixed before you book — the return is priced beside it, because the two directions are rarely the same number.

Staying at a lodge near Kamanjab?
Most people are going to a property rather than to the town, and the last stretch is often gravel that no map app times properly. The prices above are to Kamanjab itself. Send us the lodge and we price the door, not the nearest signpost — we would rather ask than publish a guess at somebody else’s driveway.
Where people go next
Each of these is a drive we have measured, with the roads, the surface and the time on it.
There is gravel on the way in. Whether to drive it yourself is a real question here, and the honest answer depends on the excess on your hire agreement rather than on the road.
