Hi there,

No real “easy “ routes…..we travelled from Khama through Gabarone to Lobatse , and then through the Ramatlabama
border post to Vryburg….then straight to Cape Town via Kimberley

Hope...

Good day,

We are travelling to Botswana next week for a 2 week trip:


Kubu Island - 1 to 2 May. Travelling from Khama Rhino sanctuary.
Xakanaxa - 4 to 6 May.
Magotho, Khwai - 7 to 8 May....

Jip , this was my question as well. We have learned the hard way , that Mabua is a trip on its own and we
skip the whole Kgalagadi leg completely. That 270km transit road is a vehicle breaker and...

I would look at Winelands 4X4.....speak to the owner Dewald....in SW

Hi Chris,

My experience was the same on my Snomaster ...it had nothing to do with the battery. I tested a brand new Snomaster
in Outdoor Warehouse , with a brand new , fully charged battery ,...

" So now I am officially finished with Conqueror . We are now forced to sell this piece of rubbish and go and find another brand where, if we fork out R400K +, we actually get a quality product and...

It would appear that the slippage is less when you put boot to the pedal and gun it…. or when you go to manual sport selection….but I drive around in a sleepy town , not the city , so then
the pull...

Ek verstaan dit ook so…..maar waarom die probleem net in 3de rat ? Ek ry al baie lank outomatiese karre , en nog nooit hierdie issue gehad nie. Gaan ry bietjie ‘n Q7 of Discovery…dit is hoe gearbox...

Presies….net so…..en ek dog dit is net ekke…..so wat nou….is dit nou normaal of is die
slipping torque converter ‘n real issue ?

Hi Willem, jy is wel reg….:)….maar dan spring hy van 1ste na 3de ….en dan klink dit soos ou ballie( of 16 jarige ) wat op die clutch ry…..as hy eers daar vat , loop hy soos ‘n droom….ek sit nou al...

No failure yet…..but highly irritated by the lazy 3rd gear when pulling away…..the Everest keeps on defaulting to that gear…whether towing or not , 3rd gear sounds like when a manual’s clutch...

Good morning, all valid comments so far….but if your plan is to go to Maun , then your
trip could look as follows :

Kang - Ghanzi ( the entrance road is 10km before Ghanzi…perfect overnight spot...

+1

We have just returned…I would opt out of your first choice…no water at Passarge and Xade is a gate camp…for the
next two options, Kori & Sunday is at least 100 km from Piper….and since you are...

Correct, our experience as well…

Good morning , we left Somerset West at 05h00 and settled in at Lavender Lodge by
17h00. Little bit of traffic through Kimberley , but otherwise very doable. It is a long drive to Mabua from Cape...

Good morning,

I am about to pull the trigger on the Stage 2 vdL conversion on my LC 79…What is you
experience sofar?

Can agree with this point. Hell of storm in Central on Thursday evening….extreme wind
and rain…..We covered CKGR from Xade gate , all the pans , and out at Tsau gate…..wild experience.

Good morning,
We travelled from Somerset West to Vryburg on the first day. Overnight at LAVENDER LODGE
in Vryburg. Early start there to reach Ramatlabama, eazy crossing

Good morning,
We just returned from Botswana. Tested in Ghanzi on Friday morning…..picked up
our printed results in Kanye on Saturday morning, on the way to the border . Also
received the results...

I have seen this caravan in real life in Centurion and it looks even better than on paper….nice wide
entrance door , great awning…..and the manufacturer is open for modifications during
the build…I...

Hi Henk,

I cannot help with 1 & 2…….but…:

* # 7. Very open, small….and no shade
* # 8 . Probably the best….big …with lots of shade….short walk to ablutions….but….
very close...

I kind off agree with Mike….your detour through Kimberley and up the A2 will probably
lead you to Sekoma, from where you would have to use the cut-line route to the gate. You
will probably have to...

Hi there,

Yes we did……everybody so focussed on the COVID issues , paid no attention
to anything else…no road blocks , no stops even at vet fences going North.

Traveling South, we had to exit...

Hi Dupie,

Recently returned from Botswana trip…..
1. We had no issues with meat/veggies travelling north….south will be an issue if stopped
2. No restrictions on movement, waved through at all...

Good morning, if you enter and exit at Twee Rivieren, you will only need one PCR test on entrance day. Botswana will complete
rapid test anyway on arrival. Then you are free to travel within the...

This is exactly the solution….works really well….

…...purchase local simcard at most garages
……register by following the instructions on simcard packaging
…..purchase additional airtime...

That is correct….rapid test on all arrivals in Botswana….15 min wait for results….hopefully then you are good to go. If test is positive, isolation for 14 days ….and they will select the place….not...

Hi Dylan, that would be great….interested in condition of gravel roads for towing as well as
sections of the C20 that are now tarred.

Please send info through when you have a moment after the...

Good morning, we are travelling to Gobabis in October this year and was wondering about road conditions on the route noted by you above. Could you advise on this option compared to the tarred road...

Hi there, then the battle is half won….agree with all posts on tyre pressure….one word of caution..having just completed that trip, do not underestimate the portion of road between GHOHA gate and...

Good morning, I have to ask…..are you towing, or just the vehicle?

I hope that someone can answer some questions that I have about Kgalagadi, Botswana side, please:


How far is it from Kang to Mabuasehube Gate? Does the route take you all the way to the SA...
