Gobabis is the most Easterly Namibian town located on the B6 main route running between Windhoek in Namibia, and Buitepos on the border of Botswana. Due to the presence of wild as well as domestic animals on this main route, also called the Trans Kalahari Highway, it is extremely dangerous to travel at night, urging many tourists to find accommodation in this sparsely inhabited area.
East Gate Rest Camp is situated conveniently close to Buitepos and with a variety of accommodation types, offers the ideal place to stay over when on your way into or out of Namibia. The peaceful nature and beautiful surroundings gives you the opportunity to get a good night rest before continuing your journey.
