And of course this part in the south is a must: https://wilddog.net.za/threads/simpson-desert-kalahari-edition.236580/

Yes, all my rides were outside parks and I have bumped into many elephants and couple of lions as well. However word of caution - Botswana is different level to anything else in Southern Africa. Namibia is pretty, but nowhere close to Bots in terms of toughness of riding (brutal sand in a bush...

No, you cannot ride in the parks. Makgadikgadi is not a park at least most of the pans. But there are plenty of routes on the boundaries - like Chobe boundary, Khai village, route between Khai village and Seronga, Hunters road, etc. where you can ride just fine. I have checked with local...

Too slow, I'm taking it...

Price please?

Do they (or Husqvarna) carry the whole Revit range, or only the ones above? Ta

As discussed, I'm taking it.

No, I do not - I have imported mine myself and it was kak expensive (they are expensive to start with and then you pay delivery cost and duties - high). Flying brick used to stock Altrider hemisphere holsters (do not buy the U bag - just holsters and get separate bags separately), but they were...

That is the one I have recommended above - easily available in outdoor warehouse. Best tent I came across and I have some very expensive MSR tents as well. Self standing (crucial in Southern Africa with sand and hardpack), plenty of space inside, tall (so one can comfortably sit inside if for...

I usually do not swing my leg over luggage just kick it over where there is no luggage. Maybe get steel kickstand (recommended anyway) and then you can step on pegs when mounting. Plus, my bike's suspension is shortened by 3 cm (i.e. current suspension travel is 27 cm - still plenty for me) - I...

This is the tarp I use - it is massive (3x3 meters) providing great coverage and extremely small packed...

This is what I use on any bike, including 500: https://www.outdoorwarehouse.co.za/product/first-ascent-starlight-2-hiking-3-season-tent It is two man tent, but as far as I'm concerned perfectly packable even on 500 trips - see this two week trip through Kaokoland and Damaraland here...

Howzit As far as I can see, the tanks in the first post and in the second are completely different. The ones in the first are two separate side tanks, while the one in the second post is single tank with one filler cap. Which one is the one you are selling? Ta

AAAAAND ................ it's 690.

It carries petrol, so does exactly what i use it for. You have to switch the front light off.

This is your technical day 2 - again, na major drama, especially with support. There will be one entertaining climb, but otherwise just nice riding - again been done onbig bikes. You will sweat though - but I presume you expect that.

This is the shorter technical route (Day 1) - it is pretty easy doable on big bike, the only tricky section is at the beginning along the river because of fesh fesh:

OK, should have looked at the table - sorry. But it is very confusing that they are designated as green. As said - as far as I'm concerned more technical than your red routes (which are not very technical IMO - there are couple of sections a bit tricky but competent ride will do both on big bike...

At least your shorter tech ride (I would argue even the longer one with exception of one climb) are IMO easier than those two - though they are rockier, while the PN routes have much more sand.
