About us

Two people, one old bakkie and no fixed plans

We are Lindiwe and Sam. We live in Cape Town, work from wherever the signal is good enough, and spend most long weekends somewhere with more sheep than people.

We pay our own way

Nobody pays for a mention here. If we liked a place, we say so.

Our own photos

Taken on the trip we write about, never on a different one.

Updated when things change

Roads wash away and farm stalls close. We fix a post when we hear about it.

FAQ

Things people ask us

Mostly about cars and tyres.

Do you need a 4x4 for these routes?

Not for most of them. A car with decent clearance and good tyres does fine on the gravel we write about. We say so in the post when a road needs more.

Do you accept sponsored trips?

No. We would rather write less often and be sure every word is ours.

Can we use your photos?

Write to us first. We usually say yes for non-commercial use with a credit.
