AskLocal | We don’t drive at night, yet we may find a bridge that has collapsed, perhaps washed away and we need to alter course to the closest rest stops. Waze and google maps may not always tell you the actual situation on the ground, bad signals, poor live feed, they don’t know the “other” paths, so we rely on rudimentary measures, the basic principles, including asking locals, it always works, like way back then, the human connection kind of way. Our chef might have a sudden toothache, as he did in Angola, some 4000kms from home, and we need to find a dentist during a national holiday, and we did, we always put people first. A change is course is not a change in experience. Expect the unexpected, we pull together, it’s all part of “The Ability To Dream”. It’s Cape2Cairo24, Sisayadaar!

No crate shall stand against us!
We wonder whether the Ngorongoro crater north of Tanzania is ready for us, for many craters have been before us yet with our snake formation we dodged each one and we are here to tell the tale. This November we head to East Africa as we celebrate Bruno Sacco (1933-2024) one of the brains behind this engineering art of marvel, the W123, a car engineered like no other car on earth. Thank you Bruno for giving us “The Ability To Dream”. It’s Cape2Cairo24, sisayadaar!

Knock, the door will open.
KnockKnockKnock | What Boni doesn’t quite tell in fullness is that he pestered to join the crew, when the Team Principal was online he will drop a line, ever on the queue (egebhile), he dropped serial DMs that were not being answered, he knocked persistently, religiously to be part of C2C24. This is his story. We are glad that he knocked without tire because C2C24 wouldn’t be what you know, he is undoubtedly a jewel in our crew. Eventually the door does open for those who knock, religiously. It did for Boni, it can for u.
Touching | What’s with the red one, seems like everyones favourite, at least in Mooi River! Today meandering in the beautiful KZN midlands we found ourselves in Treverton College and eMnyezaneni Secondary School. What a priviledge to spend time with young leaders, the thirst of discovery pasted all over their wandering and wondering eyes.Thank you Treverton, thank you eMnyezaneni for giving the kids a chance on Africa, it is worth it. A day well spent. It’s Cape2Cairo24 #sisayadaar #neverrushafrica
