Outjo’s Last Light, the Ugab Valley Road, and What a Town Carries

On her final full day in Outjo, Helena takes the damaged D2743 out to the edge of the Ugab River, reflects on the town’s German colonial imprint at Franke Haus, and watches the fire station that barely functions. She thinks about what a gateway town owes the wild place beside it, and shares what it actually costs to live here for a week. ☕ Enjoying the show?
