• The adventure begins

    There is great excitement ( and nerves ) in the air this morning as we wake up before dawn to get going on our bucket list adventure which has been months in the planning and involved all of us in new job descriptions such as “ medical officer / car mechanic / logistical planner / travel researcher“. We can’t quite believe that today we actually start out on a several month long 4x4 road trip from our home town on the tip of Africa Cape Town all the way to Kenya.

    This first leg of our journey will be two days to reach the border of Botswana independently with each of our two vehicles from Cape Town and Hoedspruit in South Africa. We have chosen to leave on the 31st March ( not on April Fools Day according to Pete ! ) and will cross the Botswana border on the 2nd April to spend the month exploring this beautiful and wild country starting with the dry Kalahari and ending in Victoria Falls.

    We are a group of 6 family and friends and our trusty steeds of transport and homes for the several next months are 4x4s Tala and Joydah each converted into state of the art fully equipped off road vehicles. Designed by Pete and his sons during Covid they will finally be put to the test.

    It’s 5am and we are off !
