Get in your car and drive! says Pierre

A while ago, I had the privilege of travelling across the country from Lambert’s Bay on the West Coast to Morgan Bay on the East Coast. And then I went west again, along different roads back home to Stellenbosch.

My fellow explorers and I chose gravel roads where possible, taking our time over mountain passes and picking our way through all the villages and hamlets sown across South Africa’s interior, covering 3 700 km in total.
