C28 is an secondary road in central Namibia. It is long and connects Windhoek to Swakopmund via the Bosua Pass.[1] The C28 rises up to an altitude of above sea level and crosses the Namib Desert and the Namib-Naukluft National Park.[2]

The C28 is the shortest route from the capital to the coast. Because it is untarred except for a few kilometers outside Windhoek, and because the Bosua Pass section (gradient 1:5) can become impassable for sedans, the road is not well travelled.[2]
