3 July (Day 4)

03 Jul

Left our Lodge in Rundu just after 8am heading for Kongola, our destination for the day.  In comparison to previous days, our ride today is a short 427km!

The Caprivi strip is beautiful with amazing bushveld scents and unusual road warning signs that I suspect are particular to Africa alone.

We are spending the evening at Namushasha Lodge 30km from Kongola on the Kwando River, just off the Namibia / Botswana border in the Caprivi strip. This Lodge is really beautiful and worth a visit under ordinary circumstances. The views, wildlife and quality of accommodation, food and service are all fantastic and really good value for money. The last 3km stretch of road to get here however was a bit challenging and Hiltons bike felt a bit sleepy in the thick sand just 50 metres from the entrance of the lodge…so close but yet so far!!

Today is our last day in Namibia as we cross into Zambia tomorrow and then 2 nights of bliss at the Royal Livingstone Hotel…I am first in line for the spa!

BackABuddy Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
