Jy't nie dalk 'n kok en 'n fotograaf nodig nie?

Klink lekker!

Nice

We are spending the first week in desember in kgalagadi. Leeu drill not much of a 4x4 trail. I drove it with my 4l Navara in 2wd. Did not even feel that i might need 4x4 at any stage. Only doing SA side this time. Last time we spend 5 days at rooiputs. Kids didn't think much of our Idea of a vacation in the heat and no swimming pool.
But I loved the peace and quiet.

Hope you have a good one

I did not expect much of a 4x4 trip for this one but thought I must do it, also the reason why I am doing the "4x4" Bitterpan route, seeing that the Sanparks people was so friendly to give me 40% discount on all accomodation I used the discount to pay for the Bitterpan reed hut which usually cost in excess of R1,000 for a night compared to the R220 for camping but was now covered by the 40% so I thought I'd give it a go.

I've got a feeling whe are going to "braai" in the heat but hey hopefully the sights will make up for this

Lucky Bugger!! Have you got space on the roof rack for me???

No, i am a nice guy, the back seat is open

Its a must do drive when in the kgalagadi. So enjoy it. i was the only car on the road that day. Lovely drive. thats a huge saving. You are a lucky man.
Yes i am sure we will be braaing in heat. One positive is that as far as I know wildlife doesn't enjoy well done meat i hope that we will experiance a thunderstorm or 2. And I hope they paid some attention to the recent complaints reported on the campsites. Blocked drains in that heat, you'll overcome of the smell
