Ugab River, Kunene Region, Namibia
4.5 (12 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #3 in Khorixas Bodies of Water
We spotted desert elephants along C35 as it crossed he Ugab River bridge
The Ugab is a river system that stretches nearly 500 kilometres in the Damaraland region of Namibia. The riverbed is dry most of the year but there remains small pockets of water, enough for hardy wildlife, including the unique herds of desert adapted elephants, which can be found living along the Ugab River. We recently spotted a small herd of elephants on the C35 as it crossed the river. They were around 40 metres off the road and in full view for those who wanted to stop their drive and enjoy the elephants before continuing their drive northbound. This was a pleasant surprise and one that we greatly enjoyed. Not sure about what sightseeing activities might exist in the Ugab River area in relation to seeing the desert elephants. However, for those continuing north into Damaraland, several resorts offer desert elephant safaris. The likelihood of seeing the elephants during these games drives is very high.
