We met, and spent a very pleasant evening with a couple from Switzerland travelling in their big Steyr truck. Luxury! Our next campsite, in Kasane, was also very good but we had to adjust the scenery somewhat in order to fit Buster in. To add insult to injury we attempted to make a ferry crossing over the river and into the Park (African ferry crossings are wonderfully hair-raising experiences) but failed due to our weight (I mean Buster’s).We spent a fantastic couple of days in Gweta, driving round the Pans, visiting the Baines’ Baobabs (a group of huge Baobab trees made famous by an explorer called Baines who painted them, though I haven’t ever seen the actual painting) and watching large numbers of elephants and hippos as we travelled along the beautiful river bank. In early December the seals are giving birth. However, the track we’d already passed along had proved incredibly difficult and hard on the van, driving over rocks and boulders so Bruce asked if the road ahead was the same.

To avoid the high winds was one of the reasons we chose to stay at Desert Sky instead of the campsites on the beach.More anon, hopefully from somewhere further down south. For our second night we left the Park (being searched for meat, guns and ivory at the gate) and found a very special campsite (half the price and ten times better than NWR) just outside the Park (Etosha Village Camp). Busy, busy, busy with everyone out on the street, chatting, laughing, selling their wares, doing their deals, playing their music (at last some African sounds, fab! and getting a roll bar stud replaced before all the others had a chance to snap off! The following day, we reached the end of the dirt road and turned onto a track (4WD required) leading to a camp run by the Save the Rhino Trust where we saw our one human, the camp custodian . The Pan is a vast dust bowl extending over the horizon and at one point you are able to drive out onto it, an impressive sight as it spreads out all around, with dusty whirlwinds whipping up in the distance.We then left Etosha and headed south towards Tsumeb. We only stayed a couple of days (and one of those was sitting in Namib Truck Centre’s workshop while new shocks were fitted on BB) but it seemed a more relaxed city than I was led to believe by what I have read and heard.
It was blissful.On into Chobe National Park where, miraculously, we weighed 3.4 ton and paid $5 for the van instead of $100!
She knew how to pull on my heart strings!Our plan was to have a couple of weeks “holiday” on the beach in Mozambique before heading over to Swaziland and that was exactly what we had, it was fabulous. After much shrieking and shouting, the snake was slowly ushered out of the bag, along the railings, down the stairs and into the grass by the golfer brandishing a feather duster!From here we drove straight down and into Swaziland. Also a must is a visit to The Leopard Rock Hotel, another colonial-era icon of elegance and sophistication with a stunningly appointed golf course (I sound like a commercial, but it’s true!) The Mine was home to 10,000 people and ran very much as a self-contained town with its own schools, shops and hospital. Swakopmund is much more touristy so we are looking forward to getting everything finished on the van, stocking up with supplies and heading out to discover some real Namibia!By the way, for those interested in the climate, it is a lovely warm temperature during the day, and very changeable from sunshine to cloud and breezy, cooling off a lot in the evening.
Also, weirdly, it was only when we stopped the vehicle that the bolt conveniently chose that moment to fall out of the exhaust! So unlike our previous experiences of border crossings in Africa. This continued in the early morning and we are unsure whether it was just the elephants having a few histrionics, or if there was a lion in the area causing a bit of a rumpus.Back into Chobe Riverfront the next day we saw a lot more game, including the endearing Waterbuck which we hadn’t seen before and, of course, hundreds of wonderfully entertaining elephants. ).Now it was time to leave Botswana and enter Zimbabwe, sad but excited! Label Warner Bros. Records Once in, we decided to spend a few days here enjoying the facilities of this Lodge, including the beautiful restaurant, the pool and a river cruise along the Chobe to see the wildlife from a different perspective (somewhat marred by loud Russians and yelling babies – don’t get me started! But this was the sort of dirt road it’s great to drive on – newly lain and mostly smooth! Mistake! This town was clearly a major stopping off place for truckers.The road was appalling – potholed tarmac, the worst kind of road surface (after corrugations) and incredibly hard work for Bruce to navigate as he had to concentrate 100% on the road ahead, dodging and swerving round massive holes in the road. The sight of Bruce balancing precariously on the bonnet, wielding his saw was highly entertaining to everyone! It is just about the only place we can get gas because of the compatibility of fittings so we were relying on them. Cecil Rhodes used to hang out here and there is a nice old colonial style hotel and a museum at the site where he stayed. We were led through the hottest, steamiest drying shed along a deep, dark tunnel of tobacco.
