Hi all,
We are Ash & D, a couple in our early 30's! Ash is South African and D is Dutch. We've been living in NL sinds 2.5 ish years after meeting in SA. We're planning to do a Southern Africa overlander trip from April 22 on. We'll take out 6-7 months for this, but the first 2 months we'll be spending doing a FGASA course in the Kruger. We were originally planning to do ZA > Namibia > Bots > Zambia > Malawi > Tanzania/Rwanda > Kenya, but that might be a little too optimistic time & money wise, because we don't want to rush, but really enjoy what we see.
Looking forward to learning more from everyone's experience, because as of now we have no clue what we're planning to do car-wise. Renting for 4 months is quite rough, buying & reselling sounds like quite a hassle and takes a big chunk out of spendable budget while you're on trip. We were considering one of those buy-back deals, but heard discouraging stories. So that's where we are at, and we'll figure things out over the next 3 months. Nice to meet all of you!
