Another wonderful night was spent on the Banks of the Orange River at Kamgab
…and
This episode is dedicated to the last day on the Namakwa Eco trail until we intercept the great road to the north again.

We are tasked to cross the border into Namibia.
At this point We are all craving a hot shower by now.
Our overnight spot is still to be determined and it is the way we like it.

We have thrown caution to the wind. For us there is as such no destination, no schedule, as long as we adhere to our main objective

Along the way our challenge is to camp as wild as possible.

The day starts with the prettiest drive through canyon we have seen in South Africa.
We fly the eye in the sky to capture a unique perspective of the terrain. We realise then, just how remote we are from civilization.

It is slow going
as our rigs muscle their way through the rugged terrain.
It gives us chance to reflect on the pioneering spirits of so many that have come before us and those who will eventually follow.
We find ourself slipping into the daily rhythm of sunrise coffee, saddling up and hitting the trail for another adventure chasing the sun to the horizon.
This is what we call the Soul Tonic.


We find ourselves in some kind of rhythm and it feels right. Each day starts with a sunrise coffe we after sunrise breakdown campThanks Oernoepriver

And for those who are wondering about the shadow car. These are our good friends Chris &Anton who join us on some of our adventures.

shadow car following us. We are traveling with our friends

This forsaken land is part of South Africas only true desert , also the home of the Halfmens boom found nowhere else on the planet. The Namakwa Eco trail has it all..
The rugged landscapes are deserted but with a little bit of patience it will satisfy the thirst of any adventure.

We hit the N7 and Head North and make a beeline north to the border, back to the orange river.

With the immigration and customs formalities complete
we pop into Amanzi River trails to see if we can camp for the night.
