This is a mean trip and not for the faint hearted, as the title would suggest we took the straightest line up into the Kruger and drove mostly the main road and this in only four days! The one half of two tracks (the other half was at her day job) had the privilege of...

exploring north This is a wonderful park bordering Botswana and Zimbabwe. Neither of us have been there before, so when friends of ours (Gustav and Bernice) moved to Alldays and invited us over we jumped at the opportunity to go check it out. Hercules, a long-time...

At last, we got to cross the border to the Kingdom in the Sky and go explore a new part of this beautiful continent of ours. The long weekend started off at my favourite meeting up place, Golden Gate. We were joined by old friends coming up from Durban, bringing new...

The trip down from Golden gate to Amatikulu had it’s share of surprises as we stopped at several little towns on the way. We always try to take the alternative and hopefully quieter, more scenic roads. We had to stop at Sterkfontein dam for some pictures and had...

It’s finally here! Unfortunately, we only had had one camera battery for the trip so had to limit the number of photos taken, and of course, keep Salome’s camera dry. It wasn’t quite as simple keeping the camera cool though, the glue attaching one of...

Orange River Trip part 1: Goegap & West Coast ”Here I am, on the road again…” are the Metallica lyrics that ring in our ears as we ride the blue beast along the roads to new adventures. This time we are heading to the Border of Namibia and South...

Our First Adventure Hiking the Fish River Canyon is by far one of my best personal adventures. It had a lot of self-discovery ( a few fears like heights!!!), and it was “the relationship tester” too. Salome and I had only known each other for a few months we got the...
