Make plans to break plans

So a loose plan of attack for the journey is to fly into Cape town on Friday the 11th and stay with Rezaan, a college friend. We'll exhaust our welcome by Tuesday, and fly up to Johannesburg- we considered driving it, but were surprised when told to expect 15 hours in the car.

That evening we'll rent a car and head to Kruger Park. We have an air bnb reserved and a few choice hikes and safaris on the docket for Kruger. After a few days, we'll head to Mozambique starting at the capital and heading north. There is a place 8 hours to the north that is supposed to have the quintessential  tropical island experience. We are hoping to make that which requires passing through Tofu, another attractive destination.

After the Mozambique travels are complete, we'll skip back to Johannesburg where Bodds has an early flight home. My flight is 36 hours later. I don't expect it to be difficult to occupy myself for the remaining time.
