I went on that Molorwe mountain with my dad last month, it was a tough, breathtaking hike since 2015, i was sweating like a pig.


goat, cattle, game made their tracks to prevent us from falling or slipping off this shear mountain.












The Acacia forest


The Top vie of Molorwe village







rainy season at Molorwe


Wet riverbed at the Kolobeng river




Mud at the Kolobeng river, a drybed covered by soil eroded by rain 









i dug a hole on the wet ground for water

River bed it was raining during day and night it filled the dry riverbed for months to end the 2 year drought that ravaged our country for centuries.



but it wasn't enough to end the dry season, if it stops raining the Kolobeng river dries up.

My vacation home








 we rested under a tree, it was hot due to a temperature which rose to 39 degrees celcius, we rested for 5 minutes






the rocks we climbed on are very slippery and shear due to rain. i planted the flag to remind us of our 2nd hike on the mountain.





the summit of Molorwe mountain




the waterhole at Makgope village 

 the aloes on the mountain

we went down the mountain, it is a shame we did not climb to the summit because it is far too hot.
we came back exhausted and tired from the hike on Molorwe mountain, but next time we arrive during the holidays we wake up early to reach the summit..
