Saw springbuck, hartebees and ostrich on our way out. Oh, and the (same) steenie.
Turds and trotters evidence a large variety of game: antelopes, large and small, dogs and cats but the seed grass is high and the few animals we did spot were extremely shy. Would still recommend the place for at least a two nighter though just for the wonderful isolation.
Trip went well for the first phase. We did hit a concealed speedbump in Lethakeng at about 20kph.
Molepolole was a traffic nightmare; taxis and pedestrians (and donkeys, goats and cows) everywhere. Headed for Kanye and our last stopover for this trip. Missed Motse Lodge completely ... wonder if it still exists. Decided to push through to Lobatse but stopped at the side of the road (beautiful wide, grassy verge with huge umbrella thorn), for a bite to eat. Speedbump had taken it's toll: fridge bounced off moorings and was face down on the floor. Door of rad forced into semi open position so dust everywhere. Took us (mainly Luis) a while to sort out!
No lodges in evidence near Lobatse soooo South Africa here we come. Lovely friendly (both sides) border crossing for a change.
Arrived in Zeerust at 17:15, stopped at first camping site venue on offer: Sha Henne's.
Seedy and run down, very close to main road, but we're weary and it's getting dark so here we are. 'Blutes are terrible but they gave us a room key to use the shower and toilet there.
Talk about from one extreme to the ol' cor blimey!! Total isolation to mainstream public (ugh!!!) in one day! Only saving grace is that it has a steak house on site ... guess where we're eating.
Oh, and chalk another one up to the speedbump: our electric kettle is shattered! No great loss but one wonders what else one will discover over the years!
Nice post.thank you so much for share.
