Arrive In Kgalagadi








Left early 8 May – thanks to all who sent us off with prayer, encouragement, padkos bag, fudge, biltong, home-baked bread, love & hugs ! Have enjoyed samples of each already Had a tasty Moreesburg breakfast hosted by Greg & Lyn – which sustained us ‘ til evening.






Camped at Oranjerus, near Upington – which has bathrooms like a 5-star hotel!
Arrived this arvie (Sat 9th) at Kgalagadi (Gemsbok Park) – quick game drive – springbok, gemsbok, ground squirrels and a bat-eared fox.



















Tomorrow – to Nossob camp, then 3 days at Mata-Mata camp, where we leave Kgalagadi, and into Namibia and head for Keetmanshoop, where we hope to have comms again. No signal once we leave here tomorrow.
For the petrol (diesel) heads’ interest, got my worst ever consumption yesterday - Calvinia to Upington 6,6k/l, pushing it a bit at 110kmh, long drive. But today, best ever, even though towing, we took it really slow (80km/h) on the straight 260km Upington to Twee Rivieren – 9,1 Km/l !!
