Grootberg Pass
Grootberg
A winding stretch of the C40 road over the Grootberg plateau; from the cliff top you can look down on the layered basalt terraces of the Klip River valley, with sweeping views.
The pass lies east of Palmwag and is the main route from Damaraland to the western gate of Etosha. Viewpoints along the road allow visitors to park and take photos. The Grootberg lodge on the cliff top is community-owned and offers accommodation, hiking and rhino-tracking activities. The gravel road is steep with many bends, so drive carefully after rain.
