Getting to Omaruru
2h 45m from Swakopmund on the B2, then the C33, 242 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 Omaruru?
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 Omaruru 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.
