In town, the camping was
defunct but there was a sign for overlander camping 6km out of town.
We’d thought that camping would make a nice change and decided to go
the extra distance. The road changed from tar to bumpy dirt. How far
was this place?.......On and on.......Through another village....we
must have passed it.....ah a sign saying another 1km. We bump along
some more. The overlander camping did not look impressive. Eric, the
Swiss owner bounded out to meet us. Wow, there were even other
campers, a Unimog from Holland, and a Transalp bike from Germany.
The more I looked around the place, the more I warmed to it. There
were little touches that made it special, in camping terms. An urn
for filtering water, low powered lights, bright enough to find your
way to loo in the night but not so bright to keep you awake, a good
hot shower, clean loo, a fire pit, tables and chairs, a little
shelter to cook under if it rains and power points to charge your
camera. It was no surprise that Eric had been an overlander himself,
he clearly knew what niceties make a campsite into a good campsite.
If we couldn’t be bothered to cook, we could eat with his family,
for a fair price.
