Both of us are avid nature and camping enthusiasts and have travelled South Africa extensively in our trusty Defender 90 known as Mr. Landy. It has taken us from Durban to the tip of the continent, we have explored the beauty of the East Coast, the West Coast, Kgalagadi, Namaqualand, the Eastern Transvaal (now Mpumalanga) and many nature reserves and game parks in between.
We have travelled to almost every corner of South Africa, and with each journey we are more in awe of the extraordinary country we live in. The arid beauty of Namibia has inspired us both to become keen photographers. This was after a three-night/four-day paddle down the Orange River, followed by the arid beauty of the Richtersveld and the Skeleton Coast, with a highlight being the Spitzkoppe. These experiences stirred a deep desire in both of us to continue exploring the magnificent continent we live on.
While work dictates our travels for now, we hope to undertake extensive journeys for longer periods once we have both retired. Having reached what many would describe as middle age, we are determined to prove to ourselves and inspire anyone who doubts their ability to really live life after 60. This is truly the best time of life to live your dreams.
Botswana was our initiation to a wilder version of southern Africa. As much as they say that once
