Beaufort West is a small town in the heart of the Karoo. It is a great overnight stop when tackling the N1, it is right at the entrance to the fantastic Karoo National Park, and it is the birthplace of Prof. Chris Barnard.
At the time of this podcast - the FaceBook post showing the house in which Chris Barnard was born is the post which suddenly reached 170,000 people!
We chat about Chris Barnard, and about the FaceBook page in general.

This episode was sparked by the record reactions to a Facebook post of ours about a new display at the Anglo-Boer War Museum - a replica of a blockhouse.
The museum has world-class exhibits, and is without a doubt a "must visit" destination. 
Alongside the museum is the "Vroue Monument" - and memorial garden - a somber reminder of the women and children who died in the Concentration Camps.

Can we still visit the Kruger Park? Absolutely!
The Kruger National Park periodically gets affected by catastrophic flooding. The recent 2026 floods, described as the worst in decades, damaged over 15 camps and caused damaged estimated to exceed R500million (US$30million), with total repairs possibly taking up to 5 years.
