Welcome to our journey on the C28 over the Bosua Pass - a road less traveled, yet filled with extraordinary sights and stories. Stretching from the capital city of Windhoek to the coastal town of Swakopmund, the C28 is the shortest, though not the quickest, route between these two points. So mount that motorcycle, and join us on this remarkable journey.
