It is possible to drive through the Palmwag concession from Palmwag camp in the South to the Hoanib river in the North. You'll need to buy a permit and pay for nights in the concession. There are several remote campsite in the concession (you'll be given a map with their GPS coordinates with your permit), some have shade, some don't some are in the plains, other in river beds and yet other offer stunning views over the mountains (beware of wind). There is literally nothing to mark these campsites but small rock signs and old fireplaces, no water not electrify of course, and that's the best part of it! Distances might not be that big, but the driving can be very slow, so plan ahead.

Driving through the concession, we got the chance to see many ungulates (oryx, giraffes, springboks...) but no elephants nor rhino tis year. However the highlight of the trip was in the shape of a stunning adult male lion we found resting near a spring!

Most of the Mopane trees in the Mudorib river bed are really impressive in size....
