Back to Deadvlei for sunrise

This morning we were up at 5 and into the park by 6am in the dark. We were probably 10th in the queue and as the barrier lifted it was like wacky races with cars racing to be in front of each other.
I was annoyed at the speed and just stupidity of drivers and thought when we got to Deadvlei all the idiot instagrammed would be there but I was wrong.
As we approached the 4x4 area loads of them stopped wondering how they were going to get the through. Yes they have a 4x4 but that means nothing if you don’t know how to drive it and which gears to use.
We had already let the air out of the tyres, we engaged low range put it into 3rd gear and sailed by 4 cars that buried themselves in the deep sand.
We followed 3 Toyota hilux that were really just ragging the hell out of there cars but to be fair they made it through and got to Deadvlei and carried on driving. None of these idiots knew where they were going and we parked up, walked the 1500 meters over the dunes and got to Deadvlei first r we it’s no other tourists. Ellie was super pleased.Read more
