Preparations for the Road Trip in Cape Town - South Africa

Friday 25th:

We bought all the outdoor gear we still needed at the waterfront and met up with Josephine and Rodney from the schlumberger office in cape town.

We pitched up or tent at the ashanti lodge 

And climbed up the lions head in the early evening to see the sun set.

Thursday 24th:

We spent registering the car in the cape town city hall and getting a proper insurance. Everything went suprisingly smooth and everyone we talked to was extremly helpful.


Wednesday 23rd:

We bought a huge 4&4 car from Kobus in Gordons Bay. It has all the extras you need: winch, cooler, water tanks...
Kobus was very helpful and spent the whole day explaining every detail to us 4&4 dummies.He also gave us valuable advice from his experience from many trips he made. Thanks again Kobus! Let' s hope the car runs well.

Thuesday 22nd:

I arrived on the 22nd in cape town where Ju picked me up. She already arrived a month earlier and travelled through South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho.
The first two nights we spend in the cosy Ambertree lodge at the foot of table mountain.

We (Judith & Florian) plan to travel through Africa for 4 months from January until the end of May. We start in South Africa and plan to cross Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Lesotho and then back to South Africa.

We will try to update this blog as often as possible.
