I will find out tomorrow what the postage of a DVD will be from South Africa to the States - and see what plan we can make - the problem here is the theft of postal items is crazy so maybe a courier will be better. Otherwise I might be able to split it into 10 min slots and post on Youtube.

I believe the wreck is British and was "hiding" in the backwater when it got bombed. Once I know more I will let you know. Joash where did you learn about bakkie and Imvubu - are you originally from SA? I have found a few more Lost City pics - will scan them and post them.

Hi Nathan I am 49 and have travelled over 1,500,000 km in Africa and I often meet travellers visiting a place BUT there are very few, I would guess les than 10 folks who organise and embark on expeditions. There are so few rules in Africa and this lends itself to exploration, negotiate with the...

Hi Graham If you send me your postal address I will send you a DVD of the expedition and then you can copy it and send to the other Portal Members who have shown interest in the States. I will also send you one of the Lost City Expedition stickers (I am sure I have one left) and some other...

Thanks for the trip report and the great pics.

Hi Graham One of the local TV stations sent a film crew with us and they made a documentary of the expedition. They then wanted a sponsor before they would flight it and expeditions are not what people sponsor :-( I have a few DVD's of the expedition on the shelf. It was re-edited two years...

I have led a number of expeditions and will post the other reports and pics - problem is I have a normal job and need to work to pay for the adventures so as soon as I have the time I will post them. Initially all the pics were 35mm and then I recently scanned them so the quality is not the...

That is most interesting thanks. I have been researching these images for many years and in South Africa the people who made them have no descendants and no oral traditions so I have had to rely almost entirely on one source. The aboringines also use the spiral image and when doing my research...

Thanks for all the comments Scott that pic.......... The nights were cold and after a late night around the fire Stewart scratched the coals into life and decided to make a breakfast of tinned beef and onions - after almost 2 weeks in the bush the onions smelt amazing and soon everyone wanted...

Thanks for the comments. This is what I live for. Exploring the bush and the road "less" or never travelled before. I have undertaken 2 trips to find a route to a mountain the old prospectors called the crystal mountain. So far they have been unsuccessful BUT I will go back. I will post...

Lost City of the Kalahari Expedition It all started in 1967 when I was in grade 1, sitting on the floor at school listening to a story out of a “Look and Learn” comic. The story described a group of boy scouts in a Land Rover looking for the Lost City of the Kalahari. In my mind I had...

My Td5 90 Note the Expedition Portal sticker on the left front vent :)

It is 15BC and tribes are moving in Africa, the Egyptians have been mining gold and diamonds in Africa for some time and using these materials to decorate their pharaohs. The local peoples have developed a means of leaving messages for their gods and mother earth in the forms of rock paintings...

Two years ago I left Cape Town on one of my regular exploratory trips to the Northern Cape. It was August and I found myself on the N7 as the sun was setting. There had been heavy rain locally and in the Northern Cape and the road had an orange tinge as the setting sun reflected off the wet...

Maps of the Northern Cape, South Africa, date back to the early 1800 and since this time prospectors have explored the mountains and analysed the geology hoping to find the gold at the end of the rainbow. For most, the pot of gold has been elusive and very few prospectors have been able to eck...
