Check the Itinerary for details

Tour Distance:

Zastron to Alexander bay about 2000km

Fuel availability:

Fuel will be available on tour and no long range tanks are required.

Our longest stretch without fuel will be about 450km from Poffadder to Richtersveld gate.

Fuel purchase:

Credit cards will be generally excepted.

Cash:

Cash would not be required but it is always good to have a few Rands on you. I normally suggest the equivalent of one tank of fuel.

Park fees:

Park fees are included for this tour, However seeing that some people have a Wild card, I will gladly use them to save the group a few Rands. This will help to pay for firewood for the tour. If you don’t have a wild card don’t worry, I will pay your park fees.

Groceries:

There is not much as far as shopping goes except for Upington and Kakamas.

Spaza style shops as follows:

• Vioolsdrift ( very small shop )
• Richtersveld park shop also very small

Washing:

On this tour you are on your own and washing can be done as we go. Bring your washing line.

Toilets:

Flush toilets most nights, our only rustic night with no facilities is Ramansdrift on the Namaqua 4×4 route……

Showers:

Showers everywhere except for Ramansdrift. 

4×4 Driving:

Not too much 4×4 driving. 

A little bit on the Namaqua route and then mostly sandy conditions.

I also have all the recovery equipment, no need to bring any along. Just a tyre pump and spade.

Water:

There is water for cooking and cleaning everywhere except Ramansdrift.

For drinking water we will buy bottled water at the shops as we go.

Weather:

We are in the area during a very pleasant time and summer climate is expected.
