Great chapter with so much to think about: the complicated presence of recent history, driving on soft sandy tracks (I know what you mean!), and how to deal with the people of Jamba. And long hours! Well, you seem to be getting close to some good hunting areas so...fingers crossed! By the way, I love the trees you're sitting under.
Thank you for the great series! No power steering on those old FJ 45's. I drove on the Zululand beaches in one as a teenager and they could be a handful. We're you not afraid of landmines where you camped? It looks absolutely beautiful there and remote.
Hello Craig, You may have missed a previous posting in the series where I remarked that the one advantage of having Mandjolo with me, was that he knows where the landmines are. I'll elaborate a bit more later.
Hello Peter, Thank you for asking. My aim could scarcely be further from "opening up." I simply want to wander pristine wilderness areas to immerse myself in the magic and wonders of the African bush. There’s also the "need" for adventure, if you get my drift. If you want, you can check out my blog on my website (www.hvzwildernesswanderer.com/) to get a better idea.
I'm not sure if I already responded to this Peter, but my aim is certainly not to open up currently remote and untouched areas. Rather it is to immerse myself in the marvels, mysteries and adventure that the true African wildernesses hold.

Is it your aim to discover and then open up an area for touism and subsequent economic developent?
