Plan a southern Namibia route from Keetmanshoop
Use separate map legs for Lüderitz and Fish River Canyon so your plan reflects where you actually want to stop.
Start from your overnight base
Set your start pin at your accommodation in Keetmanshoop. Try a westbound leg toward Lüderitz with Aus as an intermediate stop. In a separate plan, choose the specific Fish River Canyon viewpoint or accommodation you intend to visit. A broad place label may put the map pin far from the entrance you need.
Compare the legs separately
Write down each outbound and return leg alongside its departure and arrival plans. A short-looking section on a zoomed-out map can still require a substantial detour. Check the full route at a closer scale and confirm current road and access details with the accommodation or site operator.
Label your pins for decisions you’ll make
Use labels such as “fuel before the westbound leg,” “Lüderitz check-in,” and “canyon entrance confirmed by host.” If a stop is optional, label it as optional. That makes it easier to see which parts of the itinerary can move when the day runs long.
Share the plan in travel order
Send the start, stops, destination and overnight base in the order you expect to visit them. Include a street address, coordinates or the operator’s directions for the last stretch. Ask a travel companion to open the route independently and compare the endpoint with your plan.
