As for photos of visits prior to 2010 I have none as I only have video materials. The visit of 2002 with other friends was at a time when the road from Molopo Lodge was not tarred and it took us 6 hours from the lodge to Twee Rivieren with a Gypsy 5 caravan on tow - a nightmare trip! But the visit was good - I always say to people that you have not visited the Kalahari unless you have traveled from Vanzylsrus via Askham. by the way at Askham the Diamond T Coffee shop serves the best hamburger in South Africa!
Our 2011 trip ended in a bit of a disaster when my wife Jannette fell while we where staying at Murray-field camp fracturing her left hip and ended up spending 10 days in the clinic in Upington. Myself and my co travelers Danie and Antoinette of course did visit Augrabies Falls and Witsand reserve during the time. During the 10 days we stayed in the Monati Caravan park 15 Km. out of Upington on the way to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Will post some photos of our visit to Witsand next time around.

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information.
