Be sure to make your reservation for a 4x4 campervan when travelling from Caravan Park to Caravan Park. It is a good idea to establish some type of routine amongst fellow campers. For instance when striking camp and packing up. By following a certain routine, you will be less likely to forget an important piece of equipment. For example, you can always take down the tent in the same manner each time. Put the tent pegs away first, followed by the poles and finally roll the tarp as small as you can. Get to know that what piece of equipment goes where and repack the camper the same way each time. By following such procedures, you will not lose any equipment and save time on your journey. At first a routine may seem tedious but the after a few days, it will a habit. There is nothing worse than arriving late at night and not being able to find or all your tent pegs.
Always make sure you carry extra water bottles when venturing into the bush. Should you have to use river water, be sure to boil it beforehand! Drinking water in South Africa is of a high standard, but one should always ask the locals if the water is drinkable.
