Southern Africa Safari 2017 - D day plus 122 days

Southern Africa Safari 2017 Route Map

As a matter of interest we thought you may like to see our route through Southern Africa (South Africa, Botswana and Namibia) and above is a high level map of our proposed journey. The total distance is +/ 8000kms

I must confess that this was mapped as the fastest route on "Tracks for Africa" and we will be most unlikely to take the fastest route as we have a tendency to go off the beaten track and have now and again been accused of taking the scenic route or toughest route and most of the time I am guilty as charged.

 As the saying goes "It's about the journey not the destination that matters" and we are often asked "why do you do all that travelling why don't you rather go to one or two destinations and explore the surrounding areas and avoid the stress of long drives and border crossings"

It has been our experience that indeed it is the journey that is most enjoyable, seeing a lot more of the countries we travel through, meeting wonderful people, both local and travellers like us and as for the borders, build in a time factor, be patient and above all keep your cool and be polite and if one gets impatient let the other take over, believe me it works.
