Have you tried using Mapsource instead of Basecamp?

Thank you all for your help!!

Last time I travelled this road there was a detour near Mababe village that required going through water which was over the bonnet of the Disco. This was as a result of a very wet season, but no real...

I was there last month and the Twee Rivieren - Mata Mata is fine.
I never went all the way to Nossub but first 50 kms is also fine.

In fact the roads I used were probably the best I can remember...

Any bash plates for D4's?

Hi Flagster - as a matter of interest what Dashcam do you have.
It's an excellent picture.

Can somebody please advise whether there is any problem taking meat through the Middelputs border into Botswana, travelling along the Molopo to Bokspits and then taking it back into SA?
It's the...

2005 TDV6S 153,000 kms - had it since new. It's been a great vehicle and looked after beautifully by Peter Street at Landworx.

Anybody know whether it's possible to cross the Limpopo at Pafuri yet?

I have a friend who wants to leave for Gonarezhou next week.

Thanks.

Alan

Yes- I'm sure.

Hi Mike - It's the same Ronnie. He no longer hunts but is still close to the hunting community. He now owns Elephant Safari Lodge in Kasane.
Try 00-267 726-47810. Otherwise you should get him on the...

Thanks Eric and Gerhard!

The aerial on my Tecsun PL-660 has broken.

I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me where I might be able to get a replacement.

Thanks

Alan

Did the road a couple of years ago and it was in really bad shape!
One of our party was towing a Conquerer trailer, and by time we reached Tashinga, most of the shelving had ripped off the...

Div,

What vehicles are you using?

I'm looking for the lower glove box for a D3 - it's beige in colour?

I've been told that the abattoir outside Skukuza has been reopened in order to process culled hippo.
Also, the buffalo have increased dramatically, now over 40,000, many of which will have to be...

Thanks to all for your comments!

Our group cannot get into the chalets at Khama Rhino Sanctuary(KRS), and we would prefer not to camp for one night.
Any suggestions for accommodation between KRS and Martin's Drift or Stockpoort,...

A pal of mine in Zim has been offered the above tyres for his Cruiser.

Has anyone heard of or had any experience with them!

Hi Dekka- you have to travel up through the Maputo Elephant Reserve, and there are several areas consisting of quite deep sand.
In my opinion your Q5 has no chance of getting through.

Excellent reports, Rod - thank you!

Interesting to note that Fire extinguishers, warning triangles and reflective vests are no longer mandatory!

Absolutely no problem at Sango last month - going in and coming out!

Two weeks ago we crossed at S 22.43183, E031.34762 - no problem!

The Front Runner long range tank I have on my Disco 3 is 80 lts.

I run 2.0 bar in front and 2.3 at back on my Disco 3.
When loaded I inflate to 2.5 and 2.7.

Mike - we have 4 vehicles and as mentioned before will be there from the 25th July to the 3rd Aug. Staying at Rossi pools and then Fishans. Cheers Alan

Two reasons why we did the route, Mike.
We were in no hurry as we had set aside 3 weeks and wanted to spend a couple of days at Aughrabies.
Also, we have never done the road along the the...

Koos, What mileage have you done in your D3.
I have a 2005 model as well, and it has been a great vehicle.
Also runs like a Swiss watch! Alan

We returned from Namibia two days ago. On our way into Namibia via Vioolsdrift we travelled Ventersdorp Vryburg, Kuruman and Upington.
The road is in great shape!

My wife and I have just returned from a 25 day trip to Namibia.
My only regret is that it has taken me 12 years to return since our last visit!
We had a great time with no problems at all – not...

Peter got back to work earlier today!

Thanks Johan - that's a great help!
