The transformation is nearly complete and stoke levels are sky high here at our Dunlop Tyres SA #BeyondTheRiftValley HQ. The full wrap on our Isuzu South Africa #Xrider vehicles has been done, and they look battle-ready with all the Front Runner South Africa fittings. Plus, we have our technical apparel from Hi-Tec South-Africa, so life’s damn fine with less than week to D-Day.

Tomorrow we head to #DunlopSA to have the #GrandTrek tyres fitted, and then the packing starts in all earnest. The SPOT Africa trackers will come on line on 16th September, and up north in Parys, Celliers Kruger is tweaking a Vagabond Kayaks double to take on the world’s largest lava lake. Plus, there’s DripDrop in the mix to keep Peter Van Kets firing on all cylinders.

Keep an eye out for Derek Devine, Bertus Louw & the boys when they set out on the first stage of a mammoth 5400km #CapeTownToKigali sub-continental road trip, and follow us as we take on the #NileCongoDividethrough Rwanda. And a Big Up to Peter Kirk for shooting these great pix today!
