Jet lag this is FANTASTIC!!!! I've been coming out to Joburg regularly for 4 years now and have been keen on doing something like this at some point, never have managed to get it together.

I'll be out again in February, would be great to meet up for a beer (or a Savannah Dry!) and chat about it.

PM me your details if you fancy meeting up in Feb and I'll let you know once I've got some dates.

Would you repeat a similar trip? I'm sure there's a few of us on here that would love to plan and partake in some proper adventure Thumbs Up Mr. Green MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)
