5 reasons why using a guide can make a self-drive tour in the Richtersveld safer:

1. Local Expertise and Knowledge of Terrain
- Guides are familiar with the rugged terrain, routes, and potential hazards in the Richtersveld. Their expertise helps avoid difficult areas, enabling safer navigation through unmarked or rough roads and ensuring that drivers stick to safer paths.

2. Access to Reliable Communication and Emergency Support
- Professional guides often have satellite phones or radios for reliable communication in remote areas. If a vehicle breaks down or there’s an emergency, guides have faster access to support, reducing the risks associated with isolation.

3. Enhanced Wildlife Safety and Environmental Awareness
- Guides know how to approach wildlife and manage encounters safely, helping visitors avoid dangerous animals or areas. Additionally, they can provide insights on respecting the environment, such as not disturbing local ecosystems or inadvertently causing harm to delicate flora and fauna.

4. Guided Assistance with Roadside Troubles
- Vehicle issues like flat tires or overheating can be frequent on rough terrain. Guides are equipped with the right tools and knowledge for on-the-spot repairs, minimizing the risk of being stranded for long periods in remote areas.

5. Seasonal and Weather Adaptability
- Local guides are well-versed in the region’s seasonal changes and weather-related challenges, such as the flooding of desert roads after rainfall. They can plan routes that avoid treacherous conditions, reducing risks associated with unexpected weather.

Using a guide for self-drive tours in these regions provides peace of mind and a safer experience, especially for those unfamiliar with the unique challenges of South Africa’s remote landscapes.

A visit to Nababeeb old museum where "Clara" the old steam locomotive is kept and pics of the stunning floral display enroute.

This locomotive was used between Port Nolloth and
O'Okiep from 1890 to 1941 for the transport of goods
and subsequently for shunting until 1952 when the
railroad was abandoned. Clara was the first of seven
similar mountain-type locomotives and was the last
one to be scrapped.
