Prologue

Namibia. Ever since I started riding a bike on gravel, this was on our to-do list. The Tankwa Karoo opened my heart to the wide open spaces. Namibia represents space++. By the end of last year, Lance and I booked a Namibia trip with WAVOLT. At that point we hadn’t yet done any trips where it was just the two of us (this would change even before we went on the Namibia trip) and had decided to “play it safe,” as it were.

"If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe."

The above statement, attributed to Carl Sagan, came to mind when I considered how and/or when and/or where to start this report.

So end of next month Im off on my annual Southern African jaunt - My son and I, along with 5 of our mates, will be accompanied by my dad and his mate in a backup vehicle from Cape Town to Victoria Falls stopping at Richtersveldt, The Fish river Canyon, Okawango Swamps, Caprivi and Vic Falls ... Makgadikgadi on the way home. If anyone has any tips on accommodation or places to visit en route please advise. Thanks Ross
