Before we entered Kruger National Park at Phalaborwa, we had the chance to meet a lovely couple, Lorraine & Tom, who gave us some good tips for our visit to the park and we spent a lovely afternoon with them. We had booked 4 different campsites just a couple of days ago, when we had …
From the Zwakala Brewery, we drove over the Magoebaskloof, stopping at the Farmstall Café for a lovely breakfast. We are really enjoying the good food in this country. Further down the mountains, we took the turnoff for the Debengeni Waterfall. We paid 45.- Rand pp entrance fee and went first to the fall, which most …
We came to Pretoria (Tshwane) , to have some repairs done at the LA Sport 4×4 garage. While waiting for our appointment, we stayed outside at a nice dam and went into the city to visit some sights. Our first stop was at Melrose House, as we love old buildings. We had to drive around …

As we are talking to many people along our journey, we decided to post some portraits of those who helped us to learn more about Africa!
Nieuwoudtville, a very sleepy town in the Karoo, offers a unique surprise for you, if you are into motorcycles. The petrol station houses an incredible collection of motorcycles crammed into the shed behind the pumps. For those who are not that interested, there is also a spectacular waterfall some kilometres to the north, just that …
The Sevilla Rock Art trail lies on Traveller’s Rest Farm, 34 km from Clanwilliam, after the spectacular Pakhuis Pass. Where the road crosses the Brandewyn River travellers were resting, before they tackled the steep pass or continued into the dry Karoo, thats why this place was called traveller’s rest.
