15-Apr-2021 -- This is the second out of 5 confluence visits on our drive from Eswatini to Swakopmund in Namibia. The story continues from 28°S 19°E.

While travelling from South Africa across Namibia on the main road C14 this was an easy catch. We parked our vehicle 20 km south of Helmeringhausen at the T-intersection with the small D417 in a distance of 600 m and walked straight to the confluence point.

The confluence is on barren soil with scattered grass and bushes. In some distance are larger bushes and camelthorn trees. In 2 km distance, sedimental table-mountains appear. They are 200 m high and have an altitude of 1400 m.

After the visit, we drove the remaining 130 km to the Duwisib Castle to spend the night there.
