Driving through African bush

[Olazz]

A short glimpse of the bush roads near the Angolan border in northern Namibia. Not many travellers venture there. Proper deserted wilderness and for 3 days we came across no people, vehicles, or villages.

Epic. Three days without seeing a sole must be incredible. And then the second you stop, someone pops up wanting cigarettes

Pipe tobacco is what I carry... much better commodity in those parts... particularly for the head man of the village.

Keep the packets of 20's for the corrupt officials.... First time in Botswana where we experienced corrupt police officials.. Tried to fine me $250US for 2km over a 60kph speed limit.

Pipe tobacco? Oh there a joke in there about a rough sh@g in the bush that's for sure. Ho ho.

That is my kind of 'road'. Looks absolutely amazing. Look forward to hearing/seeing more.

can you drop me the coordinates I would like to venture there myself on my way from England to South Africa. My plan is to go down the East route and then come across Botswana into Namibia via the Caprivi strip.

Hi Paul,

Not sure I have the GPX files here as I use a separate GPS and computer for travels. May have it on the SD card which I brought back. Can't remember if I transferred the route/tracks or not. Will have a look and let you know.

Howzit Stu, truth is I had spent 2 months last year updating derfstravels with 13 pages of content and video, for my site to suddenly throw a bit of a "cadenza" and I lost it all... not had time to rewrite the whole lot again...

And the las trip I haven't yet started to look at the huge video library I came back with .... I'll get round to it I hope before too long.

Bit harsh calling me lazy though !!
