JHB to Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana

[killboy]

Sitting at the airport waiting for my flight back to London after an 8 day trip, doing this: (3x KTMs, an 800 GS and a support vehicle)

Will update with photos from the SLR and video when I get the time back in London.

So here we go, finally got some pics sorted.

Not even 10km from Johannesburg did we start doing gravel. We hardly touched tar in ZA even. Went the Rustenburg - Thabazimbi - Stockpoort Border gates, and then camped about 50 km up on the Limpopo River. For breakfast we had a case of beer, a bottle of gin and a bottle of brandy, and decided to stay there for the day again

After that up to Makgadikgadi, hitting Palapye, and not sure after that, but we did a bit of tar before veering off into the bush (the lost bit). Camped in the pans, and then headed for Gweta Lodge, then up to Elephant Sands. We got news my mate's wife tripped over his Boerbull "puppy" and so decided to head back, basically the way we came, hitting Kubu Island for a some afternoon drinks before camping again in the middle of the pans.
