A few weeks ago, we went swimming in the Cederberg. Could be the cure to just about anything. Greyton ↔️ McGregor Boesmanskloof fynbos 😵‍💫 Ice cricket 🥶 Hot tub life @two_dam_sustainable This guy. We decided he can add a zero to his age each year and choose one big ride. After some passes in the Cederberg over a few days to warm up, we rode from a farm outside Montagu to a farm outside Greyton: 120km for the 12-year-old. I couldn’t keep up. Wolfberg Cracks, Winter 2025 The Friday morning before-school roll. What a privilege 🙏 Dragon’s Tail Via Ferrata up the Eastern Buttress of the Amphitheatre in the Drakensberg, to 3124m above sea level. Rivers. We went from the Zambezi to the Chobe, to the Kwando, Kavango, Mbudi and Khwai. Then back to the Zambezi. Each one was different and each had us spellbound. Moonrise over Guma Lagoon on the edge of the Okavango Delta. Magic. On a Wednesday afternoon in 1862, the explorer and artist Thomas Baines painted a group of Adansonia digitate – baobab trees – on the bottom half of a page in his sketchbook. The baobabs were on the edge of Ntwetwe Pan, these days inside Nxai Pan National Park in Botswana. The roads in the park are absolutely atrocious, maybe even as bad as in 1862, but the night we spent in Campsite 1, across the pan from the famous cluster and under its own enormous baobab, was truly unforgettable. Cricket was a thing, but finding signal to follow the T20 World Cup was even more of a thing. We got a scrap of Edge at Baines Baobabs in Nxai Pan National Park and Francis found out that the Proteas had lost in the final. (Reaction: last photo.) At least we made the final! I tried to explain that his generation is lucky, having not had to suffer rain against England, Allan Donald forgetting how to run and Herschelle Gibbs dropping Steve Waugh 😭 😭 😭 Our home for 16 nights: a Hilux 2.8 GD-6 with a Bush Lapa camper from Bushlore Africa, nicknamed Wild Dog 🐾 Jumping around with burning sticks, Khwai, Botswana Highlights reel of our three-week ZAR-ZIM-BOTS-NAM-ZIM-ZAM camping mission. Thanks @jess_blumenthal, that was very special 🐘 Wolfberg Cracks and Arch from a few weekends ago. The Cederberg put on a show. 15 years, gone in a flash. Yet filled with an entire universe of memories. Love you @jess_blumenthal 💍
