'Bushman's' camp

From Solitaire, it was a short drive to our camp for the night. We were hosted by ‘Bushman’, an expert in desert survival. After putting up our tents, he took us on a drive across his property, stopping frequently to explain about the flora and fauna of the area, as well as survival techniques if you were to get lost in the desert, and all about the fascinating bushmen, the only people to have ever survived in this area without water. It was all fascinating. Bushman’s enthusiasm for his subject was infectious. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. We finished our drive with a stunning sunset.

For dinner, Henry had prepared pumpkin soup followed by traditional African food – pap, chicken stew, cabbage, and chapattis. Laban explained how to eat it for the people who had never had it before. The stew and chapattis were tasty, but I’m still not a fan of pap! 😊Read more
