Etosha 15 December 2012 Tour
31 December 2012

The very last event for this year is the Namibia tour, this came up also yesterday at Rhino Park. In the name of getting ready may we please start to discuss this especially for us who have never been and planning to go.

1. What legal documents to prepare, I know of car papers, passport, anything else? I suppose insurance letter/permission but I'm with AgriSA so I guess no stress there? Yes, and a letter from the bank if still financed.

2. Stickers on the car, the ZA, yellow triangle on blue square backround, red at the rear and white/silver ones on the front? Don't think it's a requirement in Nam, but always good to have. Get it from an AA shop about R10.00 per metre.

3. Places we'd be camping at or visiting or going through That depends on your route, which border post you are going to enter and exit?

4. weather that time of the year I would say about 28 - 32/34 deg with a strong possibility of rain. Evenings can be cool!

5. what sort of budget should I be working on? Fuel, etc. Food you eat anyway, perhaps you will drink extra liquid.....? Are you camping / lodging???

6. Vaccinations? None

7. What else have I left out? The proposed route
There are quite a few nice places around that area, like Kaudom, Ruacana falls, Mahango in Caprivi

December in Namibia is hot - most places anyway. Those stats don't gell with past experiences - even with SAW and Seuns days....

1.May I suggest 15 Dec to 29 Dec so that those that want to spend New Years Eve this side may be able to, I know I'm one of them.

2.I don't have issues with the proposed route.

3. If by the time we go, I do not have a radio - though I'm planning on installing one, will the club be prepared to rent out a portable unit?
