🌍 Every adventure comes to an end! 📸 A few more photographs from our overlanding adventure in the Tankwa Karoo National Park… 👩🏽‍🍳 Camp cooking has never been that easy! Flapjack recipe: 💦 While water is very sparse in the Karoo, one of the largest dams in South Africa can be found in the Tankwa Karoo NP. However, this water has a very high sulphur content and cannot be drunk without being seriously filtered. 🤩 Surprisingly, the harsh environment of the Tankwa Karoo national park is teeming with wildlife! ❓Many of you asked us if it was really that easy to set up camp, so we decided to show you what it takes from arrival to being ready for sundowners!
