Naute Dam Resort:
An overnight camp at the
Naute Dam
and looking down on 'all of that water' after driving across the desert makes
for a pleasant break. It's inexpensive and not too far a diversion from the main
road system. This is the 2nd largest Dam in Namibia and quite picturesque. There
are camping area, but no electricity or shower facilities. If you're equipped
for 'camping out' this is a good restful stop over place and reasonably priced.
