Sterreprag certainly lived up to its name. There was just a sliver of a moon and no artificial light for kilometres. The night sky was breathtaking. This is a troglodyte’s heaven: if quiet solitude is what you like, this is the place. It was just the two of us and a few cows.
We lit the donkey…
…and, hey presto, we had hot water in the wilderness!
We may have been some of the last people to enjoy this secluded gem of a place as the owner has plans to develop self-catering chalets too. More’s the pity.
Next stop: Sesriem to camp and then up for sunrise over Sossusvlei.
