Three meals a day will be prepared by our experienced bush chef in his mobile kitchen, with fresh salads, potjiekos, braais and many other surprises appearing on the menu. The good old “koffie pot” will be on the fire from six till late.

Though this MBT adventure can get “exciting” and is sometimes not a “walk in the park”, we will at all times practice safe on-road driving techniques and should you experience any difficulty, the Unbounded crew have the “know how” and recovery equipment to assist with any problems.

Some of our overnight stops will be rustic and unusual, but you will never the less at all times be safe, the crew will spare no effort to make you comfortable, provide you with good wholesome food and, most importantly, see that you have a good time.
