We are getting ready to go. The plan is to leave Pretoria on 1 September, overnight at Victoria West, and travel to Agulhas on the2nd. On the 3rd we’ll spend some time at the southernmost tip of Africa, before the journey starts in all earnest on 4 September, early in the morning, at the lighthouse of cape Agulhas.

The first section we invite other people to travel with us. it will be hectic, but is will be fun. First aim is to get to the southern Drakensberg, and the hamlet Rhodes. From there we will enter Lesotho and stay as  Seshabathebe, before we proceed to Sani Pass, and then north to Amajuba.  Then we will ma a B line for Pafuri.

Mean while we have to get the vehicles ready with all the gear. Two main suppliers are 4x4 Megaworld and Canvas and Tent. Once we have received the goods, it needs to be tested and retested. If anything goes wrong halfway between here and Egypt, there is very little one can do.
