Namibia to South Africa



After our stay in Namibia at CCF we took the Kalahari Highway from Okahandja to Pretoria (South Africa) 2000kms. It was an amazing drive leaving the impressive Waterberg Plateau, driving through the central Kalahari of Botswana. This road links Walvis Bay in Namibia to Maputo in Mozambique. About 4000kms west coast to east coast. Not a road to be driving at night, so we stopped off in Ghanzi, on the edge of the Kalahari desert. 2 days later we were back in Pretoria. This is what happens at night on the Trans Kalahari. This cow was much more use to the natural wildlife than mine was!!!!! It had obviously been killed by a passing truck. There are whole herds of livestock wandering the roads. This includes a lot of wildlife and a large Kudu can do as much damage to your vehicle as a cow can.
