As any regular visitor to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park will know, it can be dry or green, hot enough to fry your brain or cold enough to freeze your blood, but it’s always rewarding. Take as an example the entertainment put on by the lions, the leopard and the camelthorn tree when we visited in March 2015.

By Roxanne Reid African Overland Tours recently published a post featuring South Africa’s top 6 travel bloggers. The lineup included bloggers who write about South Africa and the beautiful continent of Africa in all its diversity. The pick was made by round-the-world adventurer and travel writer Sarah Duff, and I’m thrilled to have made the list! By Roxanne Reid Last time we stayed at Olifants camp we enjoyed one of our best sightings ever. It wasn’t one of the Big Five; in fact it wasn’t an animal at all but a colourful wedding celebration at Kruger National Park. By Roxanne Reid Visit the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park or Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve once and it’s a fair bet you’ll be back, it’s that addictive. From the sight of wildlife big and small, to red dunes and night skies strewn with stars, there’s much to cast a spell. But perhaps one of the most evocative experiences is to open your ears and listen to the sounds of the Kalahari. Here are 10 of my favourites. By Roxanne Reid It’s the best time of day in one of the best campsites in Limpopo. The sun is setting and the brutal heat is starting to ease gently into a perfect evening. We’re at the Bontle campsite in Marakele National Park and life just couldn’t be better. By Roxanne Reid Rain clouds were gathering when we arrived at Mokala National Park about 75 kilometres southwest of Kimberley in the Northern Cape. We smelled the hot earth and watched the sky darken as we set up camp before the first big splats fell. Although we were by no means newbies at this Kalahari thornveld park, it was our first time at Mokala’s Motswedi campsite. |
