Pontoon at Sendelingsdrif
The old Pont, which was last in service in 1988, when South West Africa (now Namibia) was still governed by South Africa, has been restored and offers an unusual and convenient way of crossing the Garib (Orange) River that separates the two countries. Before the opening of this border, a very inconvenient 485km detour of approximately 4-hour drive had to be undertaken to cross from one side of the Park to the other.
