Location
6 km from Warmquelle Village, approximately 18 km south of Sesfontein and 97 km north of Palmwag.
From the main Palmwag-Sesfontein D3706 gravel road, at Warmquelle Village look out for a sign on the right hand side of the road indicating a turn to the right.
Follow this track up the valley for approx. 6 km and you will find the Ongongo.
Access is by 2 x 4 vehicle, but with caution as the road is rocky and takes some time to negotiate.
2 x 4 drivers are not advised to take their vehicles into the gorge, which is 4x4 access only. Vehicles can be left in a parking area at the top and equipment carried down.
