Day 72 - Orange River Camp, Namibia to Highlander Camp, Trawal, South Africa - 420 km
It was our last night in Namibia and time to cross another boarder, this time into South Africa. We were up at 6h00 and after our goodbyes to Walter we were on the road and driving the short 10 km to the Namibian - South Africa Border crossing which surprisingly we passed through without incidents or holdups. We carried on towards the town of Springbok where we stopped to buy lunch then continued on towards Trawal 160km away. We pulled into Highlanders camp around 1600 after a good days drive and were greeted by Sparky (the owner) who welcomed us to his incredible property.
After setting up our tent we went up to the bar and sampled the Chardonnay, Chenin blanc & the Sauvignon blanc which tasted very similar to New Zealand's Oyster Bay and we gave it the thumbs up. The dinner was a traditional South African "Potjie" (Southern African cast iron pot) which tasted fantastic then spent the rest of the night chatting to Sparky about his adventures over-landing, it was a great chat and we look forward to coming back in the future.
