Divorce Pass

Where is Divorce Pass?

The pass is located just south of Twyfelfontein, northwest of Brandberg.

Is Divorce Pass unpaved? 

The road to the summit is totally unpaved and extremely corrugated. It’s called D2303 (aka Doros Crater Trail).

How long is Divorce Pass? 

The trail is 75km (46 miles) long running from Rhino Camp (near the Ugab River) to Twyfelfontein - just before Doros Crater.  

Is Divorce Pass challenging?

Located to the south of the scenic Brandberg Labyrinth, the drive is extremely challenging. It is an extremely difficult route and should only be undertaken by experienced drivers. You will pass rock slides, steep climbs and descends. The track can get very rocky so going slow. 4x4 with high clearance is really necessary. Take your time, remember to lower the tire pressure and you will be fine.

When is the best time to drive to Divorce Pass? 

Tucked away in the northwestern part of the country, the area is very remote and there are no facilities or fuel. Don't do this trip in the rainy season between November and April.
