Anywhere Is Awesome

Caravan & Outdoor Life

August 2019

We are an adventurous family of four, constantly looking for a new adventure far away from the mad rush of city life.

Anywhere Is Awesome

My wife Desna and I have been married for 15 years and are blessed with two young, lively boys.

For years our family had joyful tours with our off-road caravan through Southern Africa. But in 2017 we lost our beloved home-away-from-home after an unfortunate accident in Namibia.

So starts the story of BorderX – because we could not nd a caravan that suited our speci c needs, we decided to develop and build our own.

By August 2018 we had our prototype, and it turned out better than we ever dreamed.

We have already had a few adventures with it, and countless enquiries from other campers who have wanted one.

So, we have decided to share our dream, and make this a permanent lifestyle for our family.

Our BorderX caravan turned into our ‘Prototype’, and that is the main drive for our 34-day Southern Africa adventure.

Why the name BorderX? Because this family doesn't want to know boundaries! Our long-term vision is to drive all the way to Egypt, and when we're done – why stop there?

DAY 1 – 4:

VRYBURG TO KGALAGADI

Our first night of the wonderful adventure happened to include a beautiful sunset at Kameelboom Lodge, 7km outside Vryburg.
