Gondwana
Desert Route
Take your time and thoroughly savour the desert landscapes

- never clock up more than 500 km in one day,
- do not drive faster than 80 km/h on gravel roads,
- spend at least two nights in every place.
Enjoy your vacation - you have earned it! |

Before setting out,
please double-check with your accommodation establishment
that your directions are indeed correct, because street signs
do not always correspond with all of the details on maps.
Also ask about the current condition of roads.
