Re: TREKKIE BIRTHDAYS

We are stopping for a day at Molopo GR on the way there then have a few nights in Rooiputs, Mata Mata and Nossob. Will probably stop in Molopo again on the way back

Re: TREKKIE BIRTHDAYS

If you want to travel a bit further from the park on your way back, try Kalahari Guest house, Paul and Riana Loots, they have a great place, 50km north of Upington on the road to KTP.

Re: TREKKIE BIRTHDAYS

Will give it a thought thanks. We are trying to avoid the Kuruman vryburg road, thus heading north to the border and will use the new tarred road on the Botswana side from McCarty's rest to Bokspits, this is apparently the best and fastest road there now.
