Namibia – Nothing Short of Fantastic!! | Rambling Gadabouts
https://ramblinggadabouts.com/2014/04/08/namibia-nothing-short-of-fantastic
Exploring the dusty corners of the world. Expedition: Unknown. Namibia – Nothing Short of Fantastic! We finally found one of the dustiest corners in the world – the Namib desert! After two days of driving on silty, dusty and sandy back roads the inside of the Land Rover was plastered. Our once tidy and peaceful cocoon had become a dust bin choking us to sleep. Despite the dust the landscape and views were stunning. The hardiness of these desert creatures to live in such a harsh environment is fascinating.

A Whole Lot of Hummus and a Little Knafeh…… | Rambling Gadabouts

Exploring the dusty corners of the world. Expedition: Unknown. A Whole Lot of Hummus and a Little Knafeh……. Sad to leave Nepal but dying to see the ancient city of Petra we made a short pit stop in Jordan before heading back to fire up the Yster Ratel in Namibia. We’ve experienced tiered attraction pricing before but the 50:1 multiplier for a day pass at Petra (i.e., JOD 50 tourist versus JOD 1 Jordanian) was truly impressive! Yeah that’s it. Oh wait, what about the erosion issues within Petra? The peopl...

Supersized McKruger Safari | Rambling Gadabouts
https://ramblinggadabouts.com/2014/02/06/super-sized-mckruger-safari
Exploring the dusty corners of the world. Expedition: Unknown. We spent a total of 8 nights / 9 days camping in Kruger National Park. And enjoyed four different camps along the way: Lower Sabie, Satara, Letaba and Crocodile Bridge. As we worked our way north the visitor density dropped considerably, with Letaba the least occupied and coincidently our favourite camp. When not cocooned into our nest for the night safe from all of the wild critters, evenings were spent braaing. We arrived to Letaba 60 kms s...

Sweet Tooth | Rambling Gadabouts
https://ramblinggadabouts.com/2014/02/26/sweet-tooth
Exploring the dusty corners of the world. Expedition: Unknown. After sweating through a crippling traffic jam leaving Maputo (2 km in 2.5 hours! A bribeless border crossing and a R50 Swaziland road toll fee we looked forward to our main objectives in the Kingdom of Swaziland: hiking in the Highveld and white water rafting the Usutu River. We had the opportunity to visit the Ngwenya Glass Factory. Let’s hope the Yster Ratel keeps running strong. Next destination: Sodwana Bay. Cheers, Tamaira and Michel.

Exploring the dusty corners of the world. Expedition: Unknown. Rugged Mountains and Cow Dung Huts. Lesotho, where is that? Camping next to the river at Semonkong Lodge made for a great base camp to explore the countryside and the homemade cheeseburgers and gourmet pork sandwiches at the lodge’s Duck and Donkey Tavern and Restaurant were spectacular! Both came with delicious homemade chips and dense, almost sour dough like Lesotho buns. What a treat! Cheers, Tamaira and Michel. Laquo; Previous post. Explo...

Exploring the dusty corners of the world. Expedition: Unknown. Note that we’re no longer sure of the Yster Ratel’s birthdate. It was during a recent repair session that we discovered in an original Land Rover manual that our chassis number (serial number or VIN) was only produced between 1961 and 1964 not even close to 1969 as we previously believed. At 50-53 Land Rover years old, we’re driving a museum! More to come in future posts as we work to find out the exact model year. Cheers, Tamaira and Michel.

The Mozambican Debate: To go or not to go? | Rambling Gadabouts
https://ramblinggadabouts.com/2014/02/21/the-mozambican-debate-to-go-or-not-to-go
Exploring the dusty corners of the world. Expedition: Unknown. The Mozambican Debate: To go or not to go? Further proof of the theft problem, likely heightened in Maputo, was our newly made South African friends stolen Mitsubishi bakkie passenger side mirror (just the mirror, not the entire assembly) after being parked for 30 minutes while we sipped on some pops in a nearby pub. The traffic police presence was in some ways impressive. We estimated that there were more traffic police than potholes! If you...

Exploring the dusty corners of the world. Expedition: Unknown. After spending 3 nights in Kruger National Park (we’re still sorting through the pics and we’ll post them in our next Field Status Report) we headed to Nelspruit to stay on Wilhelm’s (quite possibly the most interesting man alive) macadamia nut farm and visit our new friends Susan, Eckhardt and their dog Jesse whom we met at a backpackers in Joburg. Eckhardt served up the best boerewors. We’ve had in South Africa! Cheers, Tamaira and Michel.
