Our next stop after Alldays was the Mapungubwe NP. This park forms part the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve and is another IBA in Limpopo. We have been looking forward to this for a while, especially as everyone that has been there seems to have only good things to say about it. We were initially slightly disappointed though!… Continue reading Mapungubwe National Park

At se Gat
We had a leisurely morning and left Mokolo Dam just before 12 noon, heading towards Mapungubwe National Park. It was a long drive but do-able. That is what we thought until we encountered the stretch between Swartwater and Alldays on the R572! The potholes were so large and close together that it was not possible… Continue reading At se Gat
Mokolo Dam
After two nights at Marakele we headed north toward the Mokolo Dam. Roger had to see if Splash was still ‘sea-worthy’! Just as well. He spent most of the afternoon sorting out the engine which would not start. This was because Mr. Know-it-all did not follow the instructions to drain the fuel from the float… Continue reading Mokolo Dam

Nylsvley
After much organisation, planning, packing, re-packing, phaffing and the like we were eventually on our way on Friday the 4th. Even now all is not done! First stop in Pretoria at the Parks Board to collect our Wild Card, then stop in at Modimolle (Nylstroom) to collect Letitia’s truck (code 10) license. Eventually we are… Continue reading Nylsvley
Taking Ufudu home
The big day arrived: On schedule we were taking delivery of our new ‘home’. The date was 20th Feb 2013. There was much excitement and emotion. This was a big investment but even bigger was the lifestyle change that we were embarking on. After lots of photos, instructions, hugs and thanks, we finally started the… Continue reading Taking Ufudu home
