Unsere 4-Länder-Tour durch Botswana, Simbabwe, Mosambik und Südafrika dauerte knapp 15 Wochen. Wir legten dabei rund 15’000 km zurück – vom Atlantik bis zum Indischen Ozean und wieder zurück. Schon im Vorfeld hatten wir uns sehr auf diese Reise gefreut: endlich wieder in den Busch und ans Meer. Der Indische Ozean macht einfach Spass. Botswana […]
Der Grenzübertritt von Mosambik nach Südafrika verlief absolut problemlos. Der Grenzübergang bei Ponta do Ouro ist sehr klein und wird eher selten genutzt, sodass wir auf beiden Seiten zusammen nur etwa 15 Minuten brauchten. Rekordverdächtig! Unser grober Plan war, die uns noch unbekannte Ostküste Richtung Kapstadt zu bereisen, dort etwas länger zu verweilen und anschliessend
After stocking up on fresh food in Komatipoort, we drove to the entrance at Crocodile Bridge. We had never been to this part of the Kruger National Park before. We were still in the last week of the South African Christmas vacation, so we were not surprised that the southern camps in particular were still
We drove from Louis Trichardt via the Punda Maria Gate into Kruger National Park and spent the first night at the Punda Maria Camp. Our aim was to travel to Mozambique on our third attempt. One of the best opportunities for crossing the border is at the Giriyondo border, in the middle of the Kruger
We left Namibia via Gobabis in the direction of Botswana. Our plan was to use Botswana as a transit country to South Africa. We decided to take the Ghanzi, Maun and Gweta route to Nata. From there we followed the road south to Francistown. On the way, we wanted to visit the Khama Rhino Sanctuary,
We left Wildmoor at a decent time and drove quite relaxed the upcoming 200 km to Mata Mata Camp inside the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The exit from Namibia was without complications. We had fun with the officials, laughed together and no one was interested in the fridge or similar. After 10 minutes we were out
From Clanwilliam we drove in the direction of Namaquapark. We were still undecided whether we should drive along the coast, through Namaqualand, or via the N7 to Namaquapark. Our first day took us to Vredendal. There we stayed overnight at the farm Onderhoek. In Doringbaai it would have been possible to enter the Namaqualand –
After leaving the guys from Jai Yen Yen, we drove through the valley from the river in the opposite direction. At a T-junction we turned towards Wupperthal and then found ourselves in the middle of the Cederberg Mountains You can enter the Cederberg Mountains via good (main) roads, or you can take the small dirt
After leaving Tankwa Tented Camp, our next destination was a nature farm in the Cederberg Mountain area. We decided to take a path through the untouched nature and first followed the R355 towards Calvinia. After about 40 kilometers of driving we turned left and followed an unmarked turnoff. This road led us over several farms
After recharging our batteries at Hardy and Steffi’s and sending our Donkey to the next service appointment at Toyota Stellenbosch, we headed towards Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve. We drove via Worcester to spend another night at Dwarsberg Trout. This fantastic place is located in the middle of nowhere near Rawsonville, not far from Worcester and
