TRAVELLING TIPS

These are a series of notes for those who have never undertaken trips outside of South Africa - or even in Africa at all.

The section PLANNING gives information on how to set up a vehicle, how to plan a route, and some other essential information.

The section ON THE ROAD gives information on driving conditions, accommodation options and how to handle various hassles.

The section BUREAUCRACY gives information on visa, crossing borders changing money, and tackles the issue of corruption.

The section on GPS CO-ORDINATES has a key, and then the GPS co-ordinates for campsites, hotels, restaurants and other key sites.
