Hi Jengel, your rig looks great. We have just returned to Brisbane from a trip to "The Tip" with our rig. Hope to see you on the road sometime.

There have been a number of posts querying the condition of this road. Gus Le Breton aka "The African Plant Hunter" has produced a YouTube video on his channel that gives a 10 minute review on the...

Double Post

Hi Peter, you mention bream and tilapia, bream and tilapia is the same fish, not two different species. I don't know much about fishing in Gona but for tiger I found the attached YouTube video (64)...

I would second Lomagundi Lakeside. I rather suspect you and your wife will be disappointed with restaurants and shopping opportunities in Kariba though, it is not that sort of town.

Hi Ross, Etosha is very simple to do yourself through the NWR website, Home - Namibia Wildlife Resorts (nwr.com.na) I see they are doing system maintenance on Wednesday but should be available from...

Hi G&G, hope that you have a great trip to Mana. Just to get a little context Zimbabwe fees for SADC members is not that bad, yes they have increased but just take a look at the snapshot below....

Hi C Africa, I can't see anything in your last 4 posts, it just says "Chapter two", "Chapter Three", "Chapter Four" and "Chapter Five"??? Nothing else whatsoever. Sounds like an epic trip.

Hi David, the OTT was certainly a step too far for us, saw 2 flatbeds travelling back from the Cape with stuffed offroad caravans on them. Also group of 5 tried the full OTT with vehicles only, 3...

We made it to "The Tip", got the T-shirt as can be seen from one of the photos. We are now on our way home, still about 2,500kms to go. Great experience, some superb scenery, real sense of...

Hi Mike, good idea. In Harare I can highly recommend Tudely Butchery in Arundel Village, WhatsApp Mel on +263 772 352 532, they are a delight to deal with, amongst top butchers in Harare.

Thanks Wildlifetravel. I guess those of us that have suggested you rather take it easy view life from a different perspective to what you (and one or two others) on this thread do. Note, not...

Barry, I think the answer is either eat less :'( or start living out of cans :'( Up until now our African and Australian camping setups have both included 2 x 90 litre National Lunas but I don't...

Great report Bruce, many thanks for your time, look forward to the next episode.

Police roadblock bribery and associated problems largely disappeared 5 or so years ago. I'm not suggesting that it...

If I was doing that trip I would certainly be taking prophylactics, we will be travelling similar areas in September plus Botswana in October and November and they are on our shopping list.

They appear to be okay, they posted on a thread I started 10 days ago, I'm not certain where they are though.

Hi Gavin, you requested and received much advice from forum members before undertaking this trip. You, in turn repaid the advice 10 fold with a superb TR. Thanks for providing a great insight into...

Wow Wildlifetravel, your itinerary sounds like doing a selection course for the US Marines. It looks like you will be doing consecutive 10-12 hour days in the car. Not certain where you have...

We were advised to try Sitatunga Campsite. This is about 12kms out of town but has a good reputation. We paid P392 for 2 people for 2 nights, ie P196/night. I'm not certain about a single person...

I've been in touch with Dave through PM and it has been resolved. It was only resolved a few hours before he flew. He won't be able to answer himself because he is travelling at present, I think he...

Thanks Mousie, please let us know how it goes

Hi Jarryd, thanks for the TR, really enjoyed your photographs. You are making it difficult for those doing future TRs, the bar has been set very high indeed, I'm nervous about our October/November...

We are in the middle of a 7,000km roadtrip in North Queensland towing a Bushlapa. We have many 5 hour days in the car and not being as young as we once were we stop after about 2.5 hours to refresh....

We are currently on a 6 week, 7,000km road trip from Brisbane, through Northern Queensland. Our trip will consists of 22 stops in all and will culminate in reaching Cape York, the northernmost tip of...

That is exactly what we are doing :mad: Unfortunately this is just the latest blunder made by DWNP, I don't want to go into details of all the other hassles our agent has had. We just want to enjoy...

Hi Pat, regrettably that is not the case with my booking, see attached We are at CKGR for 10 nights and are charged for 11 days; move directly from CKGR to Kumaga (Makgadikgadi) for 2 nights and are...

We have had exactly the same experience. Prior to retirement our "mates" always told us how lucky we were to be able to spend so much time in the bush but when we invited them to join us there was...

Hi Egbert

Yes, I'm afraid that is correct. In Botswana you pay for date of arrival and date of departure. That rule has been in place for at least the last year.

I'm in an even more annoying...

Hi Dutchie, a further 6 weeks have passed since you last reported and more than 7 months have passed since you arrived home. How about an update on the last 16 days of your trip?

Hi Sylvia, the first part of Dutchie's trip report can be found here, unfortunately Dutchie has left us hungry for more after reporting on only the first 7 days of the 23 day trip, hopefully Dutchie...

Hi Malcolm, thanks for posting, more whetting of the appetite for our trip to Botswana, we arrive in Bots for our 56 night Safari in 122 sleeps time. So sorry that we will miss you in Cape Town.

Hi Basie, I'm a bit confused you say you are going from Matusadona to Kariba, then you say you are going to Mana and then you say the grande finale is a 4 day houseboat trip. This implies you are...

Thanks for whetting my appetite still further Andrew, great report. Sounds like you had a fantastic time. I'm frustrated that the costs of the Gorilla experience will now increase by a further $300...

Well done, sounds like a great trip, very brave taking a youngster. We will consider taking grandchildren one day, maybe a gift for their 21st birthdays ;D

I was chatting to Julie, a fellow member of the forum, and she told me of their 4 hour habituation experience with gorillas in Uganda in 2016. Julie told me that she had done a TR on her experience...
