If I mention some places then you guys will tell me if it is possible.  Eventually it will be whittled down to a trip that is do-able without having to worry about getting from place to place in double quick time.The only reason I am trying to find out where best to go is so that we can work out where we stay the night at each part of the trip. We are for the most part camping so booking early isn't necessary according to David, but there may be places where we are not camping and we need to book now and it is in those places where we need to know if it is an overnight stop.Cape Town, Garingboom, Sani Pass and Kruger are seemingly covered.  It's that eastern side that needs firming up.  Where do we go and where do we stay.John</blockquote>
