It started as a simple idea: take 3 friends and 3 of the latest adventure bikes (and a bakkie) and ride from Jhb to Inhambane in Mozambique. But with work pressures we lost a prep day, subsequently only leaving Jozi yesterday at 13:00. Three hours later we were gunning for a backpackers in Swaziland that Hennie's friend, Mieke, told us about. I wasn't even sure that the border post would be still open, which would have compelled us to camp somewhere along the way. Road signs warned motorists and other road users not to stop because of a high incidence of crime.
We made it through the border post at Oshoek. But now Hennie was confused. Did Mieke mean take the third turn-off from the border post or from Mbabane (Swaziland's capital)? After driving back and forth on the MR3 (with its flowing curves that made riding a dream) we finally found our turn-off and got closer and closer to our destination and overnight spot in Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary.
