January 20th – Day 5


Today involved a lot of driving. We passed through a few small towns: Upington, Kenhardt, Brandvlei, and on a long dirt road to Middelpos. In Middlepos, there was a man who makes really good cheese from fancy goats, and breeds guard dogs. We continued further on the dirt road to Gannaga Lodge in the Tankwa Karoo National Park where we would stay two nights. The view was spectacular, especially the sunsets. The cliffs are made of shale with dolorite dykes and sills. There was a small but refreshing pool that was lovely. For dinner, I tried a traditional South African dish called Waterbloomfontein, which consists of water lilies and lamb; so yummy!
