Activities – all the action
Many of the destinations we visit will no doubt offer some form of activity, be it sporting action or more laid back pursuits, we’ll en-devour to bring you first had accounts of what to look forward to on your own travels.
Accommodation Reviews
As our journey progresses, we plan to visit and inspect as many accommodation establishments as possible and report on what we find. We have heard so many horror stories of friends booking at establishments that just don’t live up to either their billing or the price. If it’s here, we’ll have seen it first hand.
Caravan vs Motorhome – the battle rages on!
It has been a while since I updated the status of our search for the perfect road trip vehicle. But that doesn’t mean that nothing has been happening. On the contrary, so much has happened that we have almost come full circle in our decision. After Tina and I chatted long and hard about the Imagine […]
Campervan vs Caravan
The raging debate in our home over the past few weeks has been examining the pro’s and cons of the campervan versus the caravan. The campervan definitely has more space, more luxury and accommodates the dogs better… but, limits movement once we set up camp, so we will need to tow a second vehicle as […]
The Gloves are OFF – Echo Kavango vs Imagine Comfortvan
The Echo Kavango 4×4 Caravan After a rather hectic few months, Tina and I finally got a chance to pop out to Blackheath just North of Cape Town to take a gander at the Echo Kavango. Following Google Map’s suggested route and after a few wrong turns we finally made our way into Saxenburg Park and […]
New contender for the throne
Saturday morning dawned dark and dreary with a steady drizzle soaking the landscape. Cycling wasn’t going to happen, judging from the stream of sms messages from the usual group. So Tina and I decided to go caravan shopping since she hadn’t seen any of the models and I had only seen a ten year old […]

Conqueror Commander vs Jurgens Explorer
Have just had a look at the respective websites for both the Jurgens Explorer and the Conqueror Commander off road caravans. I must say, they both look very impressive and more than capable of doing the job. I have also found some interesting reading matter on the 4X4 Community Forum. Now it’s down to the […]

Just been doing some searching and came across an alternative. Caravan! The Conquerer Commander made in Gauteng. Some interesting reading relating to build quality and features on 4×4 community forum. More to follow.
Jurgens Explorer off road caravan
The discussion has recently turned to accommodation on the road and what sort of living arrangements would work best? Well, considering the fact we will be travelling with “the bullies” and also planning to stop over at selected spots for extended periods, the debate is raging between a camper van or caravan. Neither Tina […]
Cintsa Beach Walk
It was another lazy Saturday afternoon in Cintsa. Tina was indulging in a siesta so I decided to take the dogs for a leisurely beach walk. One of the most appealing things about Cintsa is the pristine sandy beach that follows the curve of the bay for miles. Tina and I had noticed an astonishing […]
