The First Adventure - Baviaanskloof

It was hard to leave Storms River Rest Camp but it was mid January and we were getting excited about wrapping up the installation of equipment on the vehicle, purchasing remaining supplies and then heading out on a test run.

After

After testing the tent and loading enough supplies for three days we set out for 
Baviaanskloof.

The first night we stayed at Doodsklip which literallty means Death Rock in Afrikaans.

However, it resembles more of a tombstone: 

We celebrated our first night in our new home on the road.

The drive was beautiful.  We saw a Cape Buffalo who was too fast to photograph, Kudu, lots of birds and unusual Fynbos flora.

African Sacred Ibis

A duck swimming in the road.

Steenbok

At one point we found ourselves in the midst of a flock of Angora Goats!!

And we ended our test drive in Prince Alfred Pass at Angie's G Spot!   A great place to camp. Angie and Harold were terrific hosts and what a sense of humor!

We're ready for Namibia!
