We left Wildmoor at a decent time and drove quite relaxed the upcoming 200 km to Mata Mata Camp inside the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The exit from Namibia was without complications. We had fun with the officials, laughed together and no one was interested in the fridge or similar. After 10 minutes we were out
After we left the CKGR, the road led us first to Maun. There we had our service done at Toyota. We were pleased to see that the best mechanic we had experienced in Africa is still employed by the company. He is now working in the Kasane branch. We stayed two nights at Audi Camp,
Our border crossing at Victoria Falls was quick and easy. We stayed another night in Kasane and refilled our supplies. There we met other travelers again whom we knew from Zimbabwe and Zambia and the next morning we set off to tackle the 700+ km route to CKGR. After an overnight stop at Planet Baobab,
Well, it’s not quite that far yet. However, we are very happy to make an announcement: almost 3 years after returning from Africa, we will have sand under the tires again. A return to the dusty tracks of Africa and lonely nights in the bush are in sight. We can’t wait to see and feel

The map shows the planned route (pink) and the actual route (cyan) through Botswana. The deviations are based on our short trip to Gaborone before visiting Khutse GR, driving to Joburg to buy the adapter and using another border post to cross into South Africa. Intense experiences in Botswana Botswana fulfilled our wishes and was
We are back in CKGR To return to CKGR, we left Nxai Pan with a good feeling in our stomachs and headed back to Rakops. We wanted to fill up with Diesel and prepare for the next six nights in CKGR. Diesel was available again and since we had plenty of organic dried vegetables, we
Potholes with a little coating on the way to Nxai Pan Due to the visit of Toyota in Maun, we were late coming back on the road to Nxai Pan. Of course, we still took the opportunity and stocked up our supplies unplanned. The A3 is a cheek! On a distance of 35 km there
River crossing to Makgadikgadi Pan The transfer to Khumaga – to the entrance of Makgadikgadi Pan – proved to be smooth. In Rakops, a small town near the Central Kalahari, we were lucky enough to get diesel. That saved us about 120 km of detour. A few hours later we stood on the banks of
