Virgin Weskus & Karoo Trip
Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2009 10:21 am
Hi guys,
We are planning a trip for Dec 09 that will take us all along the gravel roads of the great Karoo and the Weskus. Our current planned route looks something like this below and we as virgin KAroo and Weskus travellers require all the information we can get. Possible stay overs, must see points of interest, what to avoid, contact details for accomodation etc. We will be at least 2 vehicles, the BosMerc (my Hilux) and Bruce (Eduan's Fortuner) completely kitted with rooftops and camping gear.
11/12 - Bloemfontein
12/12 - Orania (via Petrusburg, Koffiefontein and Vanderkloofdam)
13/12 - Fraserburg (via DeAar) or Canarvorn?
14/12 - Sutherland (doing the Sterrewag)
15/12 - Tankwa Karoo NP (here we could sleep in one of the houses?
16/12 - Tankwa Karoo NP (what are the costs and which one is the best?)
17/12 - Tankwa Karoo NP (places not to miss in the park?)
18/12 - Clanwilliam (via Calvinia, Nieuwoudtsville)
19/12 - Cederberg (where what when?)
20/12 - Cederberg (where what when?)
21/12 - Melkbosstrand (where waht when?)
22/12 - Tietiesbaai (where what when?)
23/12 - Tietiesbaai (where what when?)
24/12 - Elandsbaai (w,w,w?)
25/12 - Elandsbaai (w, w, w? -details of Muisbosskerm?)
26/12 - Weskus North of Elandsbaai?
27/12 - Weskus North of Elandsbaai?
28/12 - Hondeklipbaai?
29/12 - Springbok/Pofadder? (w,w,w?)
30/12 - Verneukpan (w,w,w?)
31/12 - Verneukpan (w,w,w?)
01/01 - Prieska/Kimberley (somewhere in between maybe w,w,w?)
02/01 - BAck home (dont worry I know where to sleep :D )
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks Henk
