I am widely known as Suki. I was fortunate to grow up in and around National Parks in South Africa and from there my love for nature, and animals, gaining as much knowledge as possible about our continent and meeting people from all avenues. I absolutely love driving endless hours exploring and for this reason, I joined Overlanding and have been traveling extensively throughout Southern and East Africa. I would like to share my knowledge and experience with like-minded people that enjoy traveling!

A one-of-a-kind natural wonder where the focus is not only on the pans, but the stunning landscapes and wildlife in the area. It's a paradise for star-gazers with no pollution for thousands of kilometers around. A scenic drive will lead you towards the set-up camp for the night. The ‘moonscape’ with its white, dry salt crust makes for a surreal and magical location. Enjoy the most beautiful indescribable sunset and sunrise with a 360° view!

Yes, we'll be staying right in the center of the Elephant Highway where the Ellies stop over for a drink while congregating just meters away from you!
