December 2023 Holiday Vlog || Dead Sea || Soutgat || Henties Bay || Part 5

Hidden within the Namib Desert, a short stretch past the point of no return but a few kilometres short of getting lost…you will find the Namibian Dead Sea. Alright, it is not nearly as mythical as that first sentence made it sound, and it isn’t a sea, exactly.
It is more like a pond or a small (very small) lake. But doesn’t a legendary description make it sound so much more exciting?
Nevertheless, this special Namibian site is definitely something to get excited about. What was once the Strathmore South Tin Mine has now transformed into Namibia’s very own little dead sea. This is because the excavation site filled with underground water.
Due to various minerals in the water, the salinity of the lake is particularly high and causes swimmers to float freely in the water - hence the reference to the Dead Sea. Locals claim that the pool has healing properties and fondly call it the ‘Soutgat’ - which is Afrikaans for Salt hole.
How to get there:
The turnoff from the C34 is north of the Fishermen’s Inn. Then about 300 metres after the ‘Cape Cross 20 km’ road sign, there will be a pile of rocks with a white arrow painted on it (not very noticeable, so keep your eyes open).
