he Tankwa Camino is a modern day "Great Trek" which will take participants through one of the most starkly beautiful areas of our country, the Tankwa Karoo.
Inner strength and strong minds will keep you on track, but "your emotions need to be as educated as your intellect, it is important to know how to feel, how to respond, and how to let life in,... so that it can touch you" (Jim Robin) - and what better place to allow life in?
The first 20 km's will bring you to the edge of The Great Escarpment...
Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 odyssey Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas opens with the words; "we were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take effect"
The Tankwa valley/desert will now became your drug for ten days, as you will walk through one of the most extraordinary landscapes in Africa, a landscape that beggars belief, that makes you realize God is indeed in all the details.
This is a place where time and distance is stretched, where horizons dance and disappear, where every corner brings a new startling vista, a vista from heaven or hell, depending on the time of day; but
In that magical hour before dark when the flat, harsh, grey and brown tones start turning to reds, purples and chocolate brown, you will vow to return.
Ending in the picturesque town of Ceres, your journey will have taken you through vastly different landscapes, a journey only imagined by so many.
