Bosman's Big Adventure
An overland journey from Cape Town to London
6th March to 1st December 2000
 |
Bosman's Big Adventure was a concept born out of a dinner at Blue's Restaurant in Camps Bay, Cape Town, over a bottle of chardonnay and oysters. We had thought of following the constant stream of our friends and aquaintances that had been leaving South Africa to work in London but we thought - "Why fly to London when you can drive?". |

From the time that the idea was conceived in August 1999 it took just over six months for us to pack up our lives in Cape Town, resign from our jobs as attorneys, acquire our Land Rover and plan our trip. We left Cape Town on 6 March 2000. Our first stop was Cape Agulhas. We had decided that Cape Agulhas was a fitting place to start our trip so that we could truly say that we had travelled through Africa from the Southern most tip! |

We
can't really claim that driving through Africa was a life long dream of
ours. On the contrary - the idea presented itself to us in a rather hapzard
way. However, once we had decided to embark on the trip we couldn't wait
to get started. A trip through Africa, we thought, would provide us with
an excellent opportunity to expand our view of the world and to discover
that there was more to the world than life in Cape Town, South Africa.
On a less philosophical note though, we thought that the trip would provide
us with an excellent opportunity to travel, meet new people, have different
experiences, face new challenges and above all to have fun. In the final
analysis, the overwhelming motivation for embarking on our overland trip
was that it sure beat a day in the office!
