Doing a tour through an agency will be the easiest and safest way
to go, but if you would like to do it on your own -
|
| Here are some traveling tips. |
| Contact the municipalities of the cities/towns, regarding information for
tourists and plan ahead . |
| There is no shortage of places to stay over, never risk sleeping
out in the wild. Even if you think there is no one for miles around. |
| There will be at least one Bed&Breakfast,
caravan park, hotel and/or a lodge in all towns, as well as on
some farms. |
| If you arrive after office hours contact the local cafe, petrol station,
and even the police station for directions where to stay. |
| The most important points to remember is to make sure you do have enough
petrol and water. |
| A good road map does help, but if you are lost on a small dirt
roads first |
| drive to a farm and get your directions, and then go on enjoying the
scene in the time available. |
| |
| Never !!! Travel alone |
| We would like to forget this part of reality, but your life may
depend on it and crime is a problem. |
| Always carry extra water and do not be tempted to take a short cut or try
to find some rare plant on a lonely dirt road. |
| Getting stranded by an accident or breakdown in hot weather
without water, is more dangerous than our criminals. |
