Triple-fun – the dunes on Bazaruto Island, Mozambique – 05 Feb 2012
Mpandangare the Great on the road to Vic Falls National Park – 10 Feb 2012
The amazing Zambezi in all her glory – we had this National Park to ourselves, solitude above a great African river, and a carnival of birds and beasts – our best campsite ever – 50kms north of Vic Falls in Zim – 11 Feb 2012
Ellies – Serondella – Chobe – Botswana (3 countries in this photo. Across the river is Namibia. The horizon is Angola) – 16 Feb 2012
There is nothing more silent and painfully beautiful than dusk in the Central Kalahari – 28 Feb 2012.
By the time this photo was taken, we’d spent just over 8 weeks and 12,000kms in Mpanadangare, waded through way too many estuaries and rivers, had the chassis rubbing on the middle-mannetjie for days on end, and passed through over 40 roadblocks. Beyond regular draining of the fuel filter, we experienced not a single mechanical or electrical problem the entire trip. We didn’t even get a bloody puncture.
We passed the Tropic twice (in Mozambique heading north and in Bots heading south) – 04 March 2012
Sossusvlei – Namibia – 09 March 2012
We’ve parked Mpandangare on the pan (middle left) and in this photo we’re 2 hrs up into the the dunes.
