We departed Cape Town and, with Table Mountain disappearing behind us, headed north on our overland adventure. Driving besides the Olifants River through the desolate Cederberg Wilderness Area, we arrived in late afternoon sunshine at our first campsite, Highlanders. The campsite was conveniently located next to a winery, providing a good opportunity to meet our fellow overlanders during some wine tasting. We successfully pitched our tent which would be our home for the majority of the next 17 weeks, before enjoying a braai prepared for us by our tour leader Geoff and driver Walter.
Onward journey to a bushcamp just over the Namibian border, and then on to Fish River Canyon.
