I don't need a tent for the FRC as we'll be sleeping in the open (98% probability). I do need one for camping one night prior to crossing the border into Namibia.
I do need a tent for my Drakensberg trip. In 2022 I used a Nemo Hornet 2P and in 2023 teice a Vango Nitro 2+. This time I am taking a Durston XMid Solid 2P.
The Nemo Hornet is too narrow a cut and allows water to run inside when unzipping the fly. The Nitro (now superceded by the Xenon) is a great tunnel tent. Great for basecamping and windy conditions, but I handed it down to one of the kids for their mountain adventures.
The XMid is lightweight, simple to pitch and pretty decent in the wind. I can use it as a solo tent or share with someone.
