This is going to be attempt at recording our travels in our wild aim of driving the world overland. As we are both still working we will be doing it in “bites” Last year Australia, this year The southern part of Africa. Most will be done on an I pad – so please forgive spelling…
( Reload number 3 as pictures didn’t load) Spent a lovely few hours at a waterhole watching a Bateleur and Falcon hunting birds. The Falcon was finally successful snagging himself a dove. The fastest flyer in Africa. He picks up speed, folds his wings in and is like a bullet. The best hunter award, however,…
Lions roaring in the distance. Still beautiful birds. Very very scratchy bushes again. Car is getting absolutely hammered. Bumper has pulled off and scratches along the whole side. 36 degrees today. Daily changes of 30 degrees between day and night. This trail really really needs some maintenance. The bumper is now off. And the car…
This is a one way trail that only allows one car ( or two ) in our case on it at a time. It is a three day drive with wild camping spots on the way. So one is completely isolated. It is through an area of beautiful bushland It used to be a Botswanan…
After final day packing and grocery shopping we are absolutely stuffed into our cars and ready to go. We stopped for the legendary miktart at Ashkam and bought the last two bags of wood. Wood needs to be bought from a licensed dealer who in turn can only buy from a licensed dealer. It also…
We are incredibly lucky to be here is flower time. The flowers are incredible as far as the eye can see. These are not necessarily all my pictures as we were running late after another garage stop yesterday morning – so little time for photos. We stayed at a beautiful rented camp about 15km along…
The love affair has started again. Possibly the most beautiful city in the world. Yesterday was a stormy, rainy winters day. The Camps Bay sea was wild to say the least. A strong North Westerly meant waves were the huge Atlantic rollers of legend. Flight was as okay as a long flight like that could…
It has taken me nearly all the planning time to learn to spell that. After nearly a year in the making it is almost time to go. The Kgalagadi Trans frontier park is a large park that spans the South African , Namibian and Botswanan borders. It is 14668 square miles or 38000 square kilometres.…
Well it was a big couple of days. The route the stupid, thick, dim woman at Chilo gave us turns out to be impossible to do. We were doing about 12- 20 km/hour on horrendous roads threading us across the river numerous times when we met another vehicle. (one of the approx. 5 we met…
This is a park in the extreme South East corner of Zimbabwe. One day to become one with the Kruger and Transfrontier Limpopo Park. Lovely night at Chilo Gorge lodge. Stunning views. Slightly, actually very, unnerved by her warning to watch out for snakes as the cobra were very active at the moment and we…
Kariba – Harare – Eastern highlands A bath was the highlight of Harare. Top to toe scrub showed me skin colour I had long forgotten. Harare a lovely, bustling busy first/second world town bathed in a purple haze of Jacaranda. Gave me the impression of being very similar to Johannesburg but a whole lot safer.…
