Itinerary description

!!! Pt !!! (English text available below)

Esta viagem com guia da Kiboko Adventures foi realizada em Agosto de 2016, partindo de Victoria Falls e seguindo estradas de asfalto e de terra batida do Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namíbia e África do Sul, terminando na Cidade do Cabo.
O circuito completo decorreu desde o início da tarde do dia 30/07/2016 até ao início da tarde do dia 21/08/2016. Porém, dificuldades com cancelamento de vôos levaram a que perdesse as primeiras 24 horas do passeio.

A beleza dos cenários e da vida animal que nos foi dada a observar tornaram esta viagem uma experiência inesquecível.
Também é de referir outros factores que contribuíram para esta minha avaliação muito positiva: a simpatia e boa disposição do grupo; a qualidade do nosso guia; a qualidade alta da maioria dos alojamentos por onde passámos.

Para quem não está familiarizado com este tipo de viagens, convém lembrar que nestas 3 semanas percorremos cerca de 5300 km, alguns dos quais em estradas de terra batida e num veículo pouco dado a confortos. As longas horas passadas na estrada podem tirar a boa disposição a quem não esteja disposto a tolerar estas situações um tanto duras e cansativas...

Também publiquei os trajectos feitos no camião da Kiboko em cada um dos diversos dias da viagem, assim como os percursos realizados no âmbito da estadia em cada um dos locais visitados. Em cada um destes trilhos, que apresento mais abaixo, poderão ver com mais detalhe os pontos de interesse relevantes de cada área visitada.


!!! En !!!

This trip with guide from Kiboko Adventures was done in August 2016, starting in Victoria Falls and cruising through tar and dirt roads of Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, ending in Cape Town.
The complete tour started in the afternoon of 30/07/2016 and ended in the afternoon of 21/08/2016. Difficulties with flight cancelations made me lose the first 24 hours of the tour.

The beauty of the scenery and animal life that was given to us to observe made this trip an unforgettable experience.
I must also mention some other circumstances that made this trip enjoyable: the friendliness and good mood of the group; the quality of our guide; the high quality of most of the lodgings where we stayed.

For those who are not familiar with this type of travel, remember that in these 3 weeks we traveled about 5300 km, some times on dirt roads and in a not very confortable vehicle. The long hours spent on the road are a challenge for the good mood of those who are not willing to tolerate these rough and tiring situations...

I also posted the individual tracks done each day in the Kiboko truck, and the other tracks related to the activities in each of the places visited. In each ot those tracks, listed below, you can see in greater detail the relevant waypoints of each visited area.
