44-year-old caravan, Nossob, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

By Roxanne Reid
Ever travelled the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park's corrugated roads? Then you know they’re not to be trifled with. So imagine our surprise when we came across a 44-year-old road caravan lording it over the campsite at Nossob.

Find out more about this gutsy little van and its owners, 80-year-old Danie Mostert and his wife Joy, in this blog post I wrote for Getaway magazine. They'll teach you to ignore chronology and get the most from life.

Danie and Joy are my parents, and they accompanied my wife and I on a 7500km trip through Namibia in 2009,I had my Isuzu 4x4 and an off road trailer, dad had his Condor 4x4 and this very same caravan.
Dad is now pressing my brother Nick and I to plan a trip to Botswana before he retires his caravan.

Thanks for the additional info on your parents. None of it surprises me at all! All the best for your Botswana trip - I reckon the old caravan will capture hearts there too, just as it did in Kgalagadi recently.
