Need to know:

Ensure that you are both physically and mentally well prepared. Fuel can be bought in most towns, but we will carry a small contingent of spare fuel. Planning, personal hygiene and good personal housekeeping is essential. It is easy to buy data top-ups for your phone and so on. We recommend carrying extra biscuits, sweets, for your own consumption but great as gifts for people you meet along the route.

​

Eat and drink

We can revitla on supplies in towns as the village shops often only sell the rudimenteries. Buy unsweetened doughnuts (vetkoek) and fruit at the side of the road which is magnificent and found throughout the country. South African water is safe to drink so you can fill up at taps in service stations.
