I planned to go to Bookworm in Upington on 14 May to help her pack and move to Nylstroom, Limpopo, but as the time dragged it's feet to pass, I got a brain huricane to to go earlier and booked 12 May at Twee Rivieren and 1 night at Molopo Kalahari accomodation(wich changed to 2 nights at Twee Rivieren when I got the 13th too. So I left on the 11 of May and we went to KTP at 4:00 on 12 May. It was still very dark and we travelled at 90km/h for safety, had some close calls with suicidal Hares and a Kudu .
We arrived at Twee Rivieren at 7:25, did the paper work and went to set up camp wich took about 20 minutes as some very helpfull and friendly campers helped us setup the tent, so at around 8:30 we hit the dusty gravel road to Mata Mata, after we deflated the tyres to 1.6bar as per instructions
My first pic of our trip
That's the message we got the whole trip

Re: Unplanned KTP adventure
You must have been dead tired after all that driving
Probably because you had deflated the tyresThat's the message we got the whole trip

Re: Unplanned KTP adventure
Excited to see what the KTP had in store for you
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
