GRAVEL-ADJUSTED TIMES

"You don't find out your route is broken in planning. You find out at 5:30pm on a gravel road with no fuel."

TripPace flags the exact days your trip breaks — before you're on the road.

ROAD TO SANDWICH HARBOUR

THE REALITY

"Most Namibia self-drive trips cost $5,000–$20,000+. Most have at least one day that doesn't work."

Not because travellers don't plan — because Namibia punishes plans that look fine on paper. TripPace checks yours against the reality of the road.

Gravel roads average 60–80 km/h. Google Maps often assumes far faster.

Some attractions are only accessible to overnight guests — no day visits.

You can run out of fuel between towns. It happens every season.

Park gates close at sunset. Arrive late and you are locked out until morning.

TripPace catches all of it — before you're on the road.

WHY PLANS FAIL

"Most Namibia trips have at least one day that doesn't work."

⏱Gravel roads are half the speed Google Maps assumes

⛽Some stretches have no fuel for 300km+

🔒Some spots are only accessible to overnight lodge guests

🌅Park gates close at sunset — arrive late and you are locked out until morning
