After a 5 hour trip we arrived in Bela Bela! Our adventure was amazing! Tomorrow we will fly back to Belgium =(
26/07: On the road & Bloemfontein (South Africa)
When we woke up this morning, the sun was shining and the sky was blue. The weather seemed nice again. At 8h we left Mossel Bay. We had a long trip ahead of us. Around 11h we arrived in Graaf Reinet where we should continue driving on the N9. But suddenly the road was closed. The police … Continue reading
25/07: Stellenbosch & Mossel Bay (South Africa)
We woke up early today. After putting all our luggage back in the car, we left Cape Town. We decided to go to Stellenbosch before going to Mossel Bay. We both were in Stellenbosch before and we liked the place. In Stellenbosch we went to Oom Samie Se Winkel and we walked around in town. … Continue reading
24/07: Cape Town (South Africa)
Because we both already were in Cape Town before, we didn’t really plan anything. The cable car of Table Mountain was closed due to maintenance and walking up would be too cold and you wouldn’t see anything on top because of the clouds. So that was not an option. In the morning we walked to … Continue reading
23/07: Namaqualand & Cape Town (South Africa)
Today we left early in Springbok. We drove through Namaqualand to Cape Town. It was one of the most beautiful roads we’ve ever been on. We were a bit too early for the flowers, but there were already a lot of flowers in bloom. The landscapes were stunning! Around 2h we arrived in Cape Town. We … Continue reading
22/07: Springbok (South Africa)
After packing our tent and our camping stuff for the last time, we left Hobas. After 2 hours we arrived at the South African border. Again it was very quiet and we were in South Africa in less than half an hour. An hour later we arrived in Springbok; our next destination. We are staying … Continue reading
19/07: Lüderitz (Namibia)
Last night was very cold. We had to make a big fire to keep us warm. In the dark some other people showed up, so at least we were not camping there alone. Today we had to drive another 250 km on gravel and 150 km on tar. Luckily the gravel was not so bad … Continue reading
17/07: Sossusvlei (Namibia)
After completely packing the car again (we took everything out for the car wash), we left Swakopmund. Our next destination: Sossusvlei, about 430km of which 400km of gravel roads. What a drive, driving 80-90 km/h on gravel roads for 400km. Sossusvlei is a valley in the middle of the desert. It is only reachable by … Continue reading
15/07: Swakopmund & Walvis Bay (Namibia)
Last night we slept very well; no cold and no mattress that goes flat every 2 hours. We slept long today (8h00). After breakfast we went to the centre of Swakopmund. We first went to the carwash. The car was very dirty and needed to be washed urgently. After the carwash we went to the … Continue reading
10/07: Windhoek day 1 (Namibia)
Last night we slept very well in our luxury safari tent. We had electric blankets so it was so nicely warm. We only woke up at 7h30; this is late for us because normally we wake up around 6h30 or 7h. We took a hot shower, packed our stuff and left on our way to … Continue reading
