Nossob 4x4 Eco Trail

Post by Villiers »

If you're looking for a great way to explore the duneveld of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park without having to push your vehicle or driving skills to the limit, book a spot on the Nossob 4x4 Eco Trail. The trail runs between Twee Rivieren and Nossob (both ways depending on the month) and you sleep out in the veld for three nights. Don't expect to see huge numbers of game.

Ek en die Blond het daai trippie net so geniet. Soos jy se solank jy nie n groot verwagting het van om n klomp diere te sien jy is dit n baie lekker manier om van die hoofpad af te kom en die Kalahari se groot ooptes te ervaar. Tog was ons gelukkig met kuiertjie van n leeu die een aand in die kamp. Wat ook baie lekker was was die feit dat daar genoeg tyd in die dag toegelaat was vir n lang middagete en jy kon tot so bietjie oe toemaak in jou stoel vir n slapie na ete. Ons het ook lekker vroeg by die kampplekke uitgekom so daar was genoeg tyd vir kuier en lekker kos maak.

Guided, vanaf Tweeriveren tot Nossob. Ons het glad nie andermense geken in die groep nie maar aan die einde van die dag so lekker pelle geraak. Die guide was van Engeland????? 2 Amerikaaners, die dame nogal n 5 ster generaal in die VV se weermag. Dan was daar n Duitse couple, en 2 Afrikaanse couples. Die guide se Hilux het op die laaste dag ook nog probleme gegee ( tot die Izuzu manne se genot :blackeye: ) soos ek onthou en moes hom oor n duin of twee probeer sleep.

Die Botswana kant se trails het ons al almal gedoen en alhoewel ek en die Blond n leeu of twee gesien het was daar maar min wild aan hulle kant ook. In my ondervinding as jy wild wil sien bly jy maar op die Twee Rivieren / Nossob / Unions end pad ( Leeu, Rooibok, Blou Wildebees ) of Twee Rivieren / Mata-Mata ( Kameelperd, Luiperds ens ) pad. Om werklik die stilte, plantegroei, insekte en gesigte van die dag Kalahari te sien ( en dalk bietjie wild ) doen jy die Botswana gedeeltes of dan die guided roetes in die SA kant. Moet net met n verwagting gaan om wild daar te gaan sien nie maar liewer as n bonis en n voorreg as dit wel gebeur.

Moet ek aan gaan????? Daars twee plekke wat so na aan my hart le, Baviaanskloof en die Kgalagadi. Ek raak heeltemal in vervoering oor die plekke en hoendervleis slaan oor plekke uit wat ek nie eens geweet het ek het nie. Dink nie dis heeltemal normaal nie hoor........
