Bloedkoppie Tinkas 4x4 Route
The Bloedkoppie Tinkas Trail is one of our favourite 4x4 trails in Namibia. You will encounter typical Namib Desert secenery with a spectacular granite kop to explore. Smaller than the Spitskoppe, the Bloedkoppie still offers ample opportunities to explore and take photographs. Please note that visiting the Bloedkoppie and the 4x4 trail requires a permit obtainable in Swakopmund.
At the Bloedkoppie there are a number of "dry" campsites situated around the granite outcrop. At the back are more secluded campsites with a number of trees.
