Tomorrow we cross for Namibia so I thought it time for a roundup.
Best Campsite
- Location - Rustic Camp, Mokala National Park - loved the isolation and all the animals coming to the waterhole throughout the day
- Facilities - all the South African National Park sites, generally well equipped with cooking, washing up and laundry facilities in addition to decent showers with copious hot water and baths (although you need your own plug)!
- Raspberry award - Bloemfontein campsite for being the most expensive with the least facilities.
Best sights/experiences
- Driving up Alfreds Pass (Klein Karoo)
- Watching the dolphins surf at Lambertsbaii (West Coast)
- Cango Caves (Oodtshorn)
- Self Drive safari in Kruger National Park
- Wine Tasting at La Motte vineyard, Franshoek
Best Treat
- Buffelsdrift Lodge, A luxury two room safari tent on the shore of a dam with afternoon game drive, à la carte dinner, breakfast and morning game drive included (sometimes you need a break from camping).
Best Customer Service
Jess at Ezi-Awn, hands down, although I found Afrikaaners to be very helpful in general.
