Yes, shade can be a problem. It was fairly hot when we were there but enough of a breeze to make it bearable. They are also helped by the fact that they are at about 1000m, Mount Cedar and Algeria...

At the end of February, we spent 2 nights at Moon River Bush Camp in the southern Cederberg. There are only 2 campsites about 700m apart, so silence and simplicity are the order of the day. We stayed...

it is not really advisable to use 4hlc or 4llc on tar.

Klipwerf is very noisy being on the main road, Kleinplasie could be described as rustic.

Depends where you want to go;

East of the park is Sutherland,
South is Gatsrivier,
West is Die Mond,
Further west is Cederberg,
Further......???

I think Langkloof is great if you want to chill, but if you want to explore the Park then Perdekloof is probably a better option.

Sorry, can’t help with Vryburg accommodation, but please post who you do Covid test with in Upington and how long it takes, thanks.

We were last at Thakadu a couple of years ago and it was terrible. No hot water, no real management and food not great. We found Tautona better.

We spent a night at this place a couple of years ago, it was in July. so we were virtually the only people there and morning temp was below zero. We had a nice campsite on the river. Umfula Resort -...

Near Mafikeng you can look at;
Boereplaas Holiday Resort, about 20kms north of Vryburg,
Mafikeng Game Reserve, but slightly out of the way,
Or across the border, Phuduhudu campsite or Chasmiru,...

Is that the Harry Surtie hospital? We will need a Covid test next month.

There is no pre-booking of sites, it works on a first come first served system.

I installed an Ewiks mover on my Sundowner last year during lockdown. The delivered cost was R13200 and it really works well. My Sundowner is considerably heavier than your trailer.

This was the...

Kettie always travels with!

We have never had a problem with baboons at Tankwa or Storms River, they seemed to be wary of people, in both places, and don't seem as destructive as the baboons in...

Sorry, also come in from the south so can't help with routing. I would phone reception and ask for advice, when we were there a couple of months ago the road to Gannaga Pass was terrible, so maybe...

Not a nice experience at all!

I think I would have reported it at the gate. We were at Chitake a few years ago and heard gun shots, and did not do anything about it. The follow-up rangers were...

We camp there fairly often, at least this time it stayed a westerly wind all the time, makes life easier. On the 3rd day, I did use 2 larger/longer pegs on the wind side. We were on a tent site and...

Adding Kagga Kamma and Storms River, both done recently.

We did the journey the other way round in 2019, also travelling alone.

I had planned on spending 2 nights at Name Pan, about 50kms before Kaa Gate but while at Name Pan we decided to only spend 1...

During the delayed school holidays we took our grandson to Sutherland as he was keen to do a tour through SALT. Unfortunately this did not happen, as Covid is still being used as an excuse not to do...

Agree with the N7 option but would try to stretch first day to Oranjerus, Kanoneiland, not that much further. Nice campsite on grass next to the river, also options of chalets and a restaurant if...

I would say site No.1 is probably the best, there is some shade, you only have a neighbour on 1 side and you have a good view of the water hole. You can phone and pre-book a site, but it is written...

Hi John,

You are certainly generating a lot of advice and opinions, here are a couple more.

Friends of ours left their vehicles, Ford with Alucab Camper and a 200 Cruiser with Imagine Trailvan,...

Hi John,

Some thoughts from my side. I have only flown into Rwanda and Uganda and the roads around the capitals were not bad at all. (Admittedly a few years ago)

I am sure you have learned by...

Carole, I went to Kasanka in November last year and from the Kasanka turn-off to Lusaka was not really that bad. The speed bumps are quite vicious and one needs to slow down for them. We were a...

We were at Perdekloof for 3 days last month, road up Gannaga Pass is shocking but the main access roads from the south were in great shape up to about 10kms from reception, best we have ever had.

I fitted an Ewiks to my Sundowner during lock down. I explained to Kyle that I did not want a permanent fitting in my nose-cone and he supplied me with this plug and connector. I ended up mounting...

That is the tank that is visible. I think I saw something from Gerber’s that they have increased the thickness of the metal by .5mm since my tank was made.

I catch the towbar long before the tank...

Tobie, I have had Gerber’s tank for nearly 5 years. We do a lot of overlanding, not really 4x4 trails and have not really had any problems. Safari Centre in Cape Town did the fitting. Slight...

I have a pair of front springs, complete with shocks. They are from 2015 but virtually un-used. You are welcome to them if you do not find something closer to you.

I would agree on the LWB. I originally had a 2.8 SWB and am now on my second LWB. The SWB is a fun vehicle, that we had some great trips in, but the problem came on longer trips when water and extra...

I was able to change my April, Rooiputs and Polentswa bookings over the phone with DWNP, for next year. I even managed to swop a couple of days at Two Rivers for 2 nights at Rooiputs, as it was there...

Tim, you might be quite pushed to do the drive in 3 days, one of them is going to have to be very long. In October last year I went from Simon's Town to Kasane in 4 days. I was not towing but took it...

Stan, I did seem to have a booking, but no deposit was paid, so who knows. We were supposed to be there for 2 nights in Aug but have now moved it to 2021. I started with Beauty who is now at Impalila...

You can contact Fabian +264 81 043 5241, I got hold of him on WhatsApp. (Beauty has moved on)
