  • Southern Africa (excluding South Africa) geocaches

    Southern Africa, excluding South Africa, includes the following countries:
    Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

    The first geocache was hidden in Namibia on the 20th September 2001, by team "aapje" with the cache name "Hiddenvlei" (GC21C1), and found for the 1st time 6 months later on the 5th April 2002, by team "Peter Robson".

    The next country on the map was Swaziland with Southern Africa's 7th virtual cache, by team "hosta". It was hidden on 7th of April 2002 and found for the 1st time on the 22nd January 2003, just over 11 months later by team "GPSJane". Team "hosta" has since past away, and most of his caches around the Piet Retief area are now disabled.
