Hi Okkie, Who are you travelling with?
Do you know the route you are doing?
Do you travel with trailers or RTT?
Looks very interesting.

These places are unknown to me:-

vrydag 19 des - jungle light
saterdag 20 des - monteiro
woensdag 24 des - Mavinga
donderdag 25 des - Mavinga
vrydag 26 des - enyandi
Saterdag 10 jan - van zylsrus
Could you give me a bit more information on these places please?

Between Palmwag and Rhino Sanctuary is Valley of Desolation. Travelling from N to S is a lookout point in the valley of desolation once you have passed Lion Pools. There are kranses on your right which have a lovely WILD campsite. I will be there in June, 2015 (donderdag 1 jan - wild).

Looks like an awesome trip Okkie. Went to many of the same places 2 years ago and it was awesome. Some of the off roads are the worst I ever drove on. Tyre eaters. Have a great trip.
