a video my daughter made of our bike trip in Botswana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7oIzM2smFc

Any one with tracks through the pans ? All input would be appreciated as we have left planning to the last. Plan is to enter around Nata and spent a few days doing the baobabs and islands.

Well done guys...nice pics and interesting route. Throttle Jockey, unable to open your attachment. Is it possible to post it in another format? Thanks

Schalk, this RR of yours really had me captivated last night and I finally finished reading it. What I enjoyed most was reading about all the different characters and their generosity along the way. This is what makes a trip like this so special and memorable. The clay pots filled with water for...

Glad to hear that you are home safely. Looking forward to reading the rest of your RR. You must have had an amazing experience. I bet you can't wait to get going on your next leg of the journey. We are planning a very tame ride in December...because of family commitments...so will only be riding...

Hi Schalk. Long time since I've been on the forum and have only just picked up on your amazing story now. I can't believe that you're actually doing this....i'm so envious. I've only managed to read as far as Malawi and it's already got me captivated and my adventure juices flowing. As spare...

We spent about an hour up on the summit before heading back down....which was also a challenge. From here we had to find our way back to the resort where we packed up and set off for home ….another 3 hour ride heading in a southerly direction via Sideman, once again soaking up...

Saturday morning found us zooting around on our scooters once again, heading towards the Yoga Barn where we spent a bit of energy doing an hour and a half of yoga. Feeling relaxed and hungry we rode back into town to find some lunch and get snacks for the following days hike...

We were welcomed by friendly staff at reception and were offered the funicular (a cable car running up and down the mountain slope) which would take us down to the next level. The whole resort is built on various levels sloping down the hillside and blending into the vegetation. But looking out...

Soon after we settled in we went in search of the Yoga Barn to make arrangements for some yoga classes. We did some shopping along Jalan (road) Monkey Forest and enjoyed a divine dinner at Tutmak, on the corner of the soccer field. My favorite dish was Mie Goreng – veg and chicken on fried...

We continued for another 2 km and started to head down a steep narrow little road away from the lakes to look for the entrance to the waterfall. It drops down drastically through coffee plantations and clove trees. The brakes on my scooter were a bit suspect and when applied made a terrible...

As we made progress we could feel the air cooling down and became aware that we were gradually going up an incline. We arrived in Badugal, only about 63 km from home, at about 10.30 am. There is a beautiful lake, Danau Bratan, that lies in the lee of Mount Catur (2096m). It is on this lake shore...

                              My baby is my delightful 20 year old daughter, Roxy! I had the privilege of visiting both my children in Indonesia for the month of July. They have both been living in Bali, the Island of the Gods, for nearly 2 years now. One evening we decided that it was a...

Hi Dave, It was an absolute pleasure  having you guys along for the ride...thanks for joining us. Nothing like a couple of days on bikes with good people and lots of banter....most entertaining company. We should try and do it more often. Look forward to seeing your photies.

The mother lynx had been killed by the locals and the two babies brought to Albie and Angela to look after. They are 9 months old and very tame....however, they don't come up to you looking for affection....unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to touch them as they were a bit elusive...

Hi there, It was great meeting you at the museum....pity we didn't catch up back at the bash though. Hope you get to ride the Transkei sometime soon. Take care.

A great RR.....but so much bad luck. Glad you are all home safely. Some nice and different scenery as well. Well done. Get better soon Schalk....we missed you at the Kei.

Hi there, yup tha'ts us....I hope you manage to find the time to do that ride...I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Hi Schalk, So sorry to hear about your accident....what bad luck! We were wondering where you were and were looking forward to catching up with you. I hope you mend quickly and feel better soon. Will look out for your RR. Take care.

At Coffee Bay we all said our goodbyes to SBDurbs as he was taking the quick route home via Umthatha. After refueling near the Ocean View Hotel we set off for the next 122 km trip to Port St.Johns. We got as far as Anchorage and stopped for breakfast. I was sad to see how neglected it had...
