Thanks everyone for all jumping on the bus.
Only problem is that this bus may take a day or two to get going.
To re-cap
After our October/November 2019 trip, we had arranged another visit for May / June this year.
We had a 3 week trip planned which included both the SANparks and Botswana sides of the park.
As our dates came closer and closer, we soon realised that the trip was not going to happen, so we decided to postpone the trip to October 2020 for the SANParks bookings and to April/May for the Botswana bookings
After much searching, swopping of dates and having to deal with COVID at work, working remotely and shutdowns we eventually had a trip booked.
Our itinerary was as follows:
Twee Rivieren 3 nights
Mata Mata 3 nights
Nossob 7 nights
Mata Mata 4 nights
and our last 3 nights at Twee Rivieren
All camping in our trailer
We had also planned on spending two nights on the way up in Keimos at Oranjerus, so on Saturday 24 October we left Cape Town
We arrived in Keimos that afternoon to find the camp site where we to be spending the next two nights totally over run with locals venturing out for a weekend of partying after a long shut down.
Not a great scenario
I was quickly on the phone to Twee Rivieren, and the only accommodation available the next night was a chalet. We grabbed it.
So we popped up our small pop up tent and made the best of a bad situation for the evening
We did at least also see this Barbet the following morning, before setting off to the Kgalagadi a day earlier than planned
