The Forbidden Land Shipwreck 4×4 Trail (7–12 April 2025)
Picture yourself driving across endless dunes etched against the wild Namibian coastline. Now imagine visiting places untouched by the public for more than a century, littered with the haunting remnants of shipwrecks—and you’ve only scratched the surface of the “Forbidden Land Shipwreck 4×4 Trail.”
Highlights of the Trail:
- Behind Closed Doors: Gain rare access to areas of the Namib coastline sealed to the public for 108 years until 2016. This is your chance to explore these secretive lands.
- Unmatched History: Discover iconic shipwrecks like the gigantic “FrotAmerica” and the hauntingly landbound “Eduard Bohlen,” relics of storms and unforgiving tides.
- Serious Dune Driving: Conquer massive sand dunes with a difficulty rating of 4 to 5. Got some dune-driving experience under your belt? This will be the ultimate proving ground.
Your adventure kicks off with a warm welcome dinner in Lüderitz alongside fellow explorers. Over six unforgettable days, you’ll drive approximately 650 kilometers through deserted diamond-mining towns, scenic bays like Spencer Bay and St. Francis Bay, and roller-coaster dunes like the towering Lange Wand.
Stay Comfortable in the Wilderness
Each evening, after a day of conquering dunes and discovering history, you’ll unwind at a serene campsite. While MegaXplore provides a hot shower setup and warms the water for your use, note that participants must bring their own water supply for showering and drinking. Around the campfire, you’ll share stories, hearty meals, and laughter—what we call a “lekker kuier”—making every evening as memorable as the day.

- Epic Landscapes: From the thunderous Epupa Falls to the dramatic Marienfluss, and onto the winding Van Zyl’s Pass, every kilometer is steeped in wonder.
- Wildlife Up Close: The Kaokoveld teems with desert-adapted marvels. Keep an eye out for desert elephants, elusive black rhinos, and maybe even prowling desert lions as you traverse dry riverbeds and rocky wilderness.
This route is a true challenge to both man and machine, but every gruelling trail is balanced with magical nights. After a hard day of driving, set up camp under the vast African skies, enjoy meals prepared with love, and swap stories over a crackling fire. It’s rugged, it’s untamed, and it’s unforgettable.
