Karoo National Parks- January 2022

Africa, South Africa

After we left SALT we headed into the direction of Beaufort West, criss-crossing our way through the wet Karoo via back roads and dirt roads, past some vanilla and chocolate sheep and a car wreck, and a big ostrich farm! The weather, however, remained ominous and dark. We arrived in Beaufort West late in the …

Tankwa and Sutherland – January 2022

Africa, South Africa

When we left Cape Town for Johannesburg we had a few weeks time before flying to Australia to visit kids and grandkids and we decided to spend some more time in the Karoo. One of the things we still wanted to do was stargazing at SALT. Seeing our two previous attempts had not worked out …

Goodbye Botswana, Hello South Africa – December 2021

Africa, Botswana, South Africa

Our last stop in Botswana was Palapye where we needed to take a PCR test before being able to enter South Africa again. The PCR test was a quick and painless process and by 9am the following morning, we got our results and drove the last few km’s to the border. We passed through the …

Boteti River, Salt Pans and Elephants – November 2021

Africa, Botswana

We spent our last night in Maun, sleeping somewhere along the road side and then we set out into the direction of Francistown. As said… the exorbitant park fees for Trokkie had made any visit to parks like Chobe, Central Kalahari and Makgadikgadi go up in smoke. So we decided to head towards the border …

Delta Scenic Flight – November 2021

Africa, Botswana

After our amazing few days at Xakanaxa, we had returned to Maun and booked our scenic flight. We took off around 4 in the afternoon in our tiny helicopter… with doors off, for better viewing! And was that an amazing 40 minutes flight! I am thoroughly fascinated and enamored by aerial photography! The natural design …

Moremi Part 2 – November 2021

Africa, Botswana

We woke up to buffaloes grazing their way through the campsites as campers were enjoying their morning coffee. They behaved like domesticated cattle, but we would definitely not give it a try to be as friendly as we might be with cattle! Our Swiss friends left shortly after breakfast, but returned shortly after to tell …

Moremi Part 1 – November 2021

Africa, Botswana

When we arrived in Maun, gateway to the Delta, we looked up where the Parks department was so we could arrange for our stay at the various camps in the Delta and Botswana in general. There we got the shock of our life. Entry fee for the two of us in any park: acceptable. Camping …

Border crossing and Mohembo “Tusk” Bridge – October 2021

Africa, Botswana, Namibia

After we had our PCR test in Katima Mulilo, we got Trokkie on the road, put pedal to the metal as we wanted to cross the Botswana border that same day! We only had one short toilet break along the way and we made the border post with about 45 minutes to spare. Crossing the …

Caprivi Part 2 – October 2021

Africa, Namibia

We left Mudumu park and continued to Nkasa Rupara National Park, further south, situated along the Kovango River which makes a natural border between Namibia and Botswana. As we wouldn’t make it into the park before closing time, we turned off on the right road, passed some settlements and kraals and eventually pulled off the …

Caprivi Part 1 – October 2021

Africa, Namibia

We arrived at Divungu where it was hot and humid. We decided to visit the Popa waterfalls and split ways:  we went to the south side and Gavin and Lee went to the north side to see which side would be the most spectacular. Unfortunately not one of the two seemed to be really stunning. …
