In episode 1 we travel from Pretoria to Khama Rhino Sanctuary passing through the stockpoort border post. We travel in heavy rain but are rewarded with a wonderful evening in camp.

The next day we make our way to Kubu Island, Sua Pan through the Makgadikgadi Pans and because it is still so wet this turned out to be a crazy adventure (one we will treasure forever)

Yes we got a little stuck but that’s all part of the journey!!

In the next Episode we try our luck taking the Gweta Road to Maun and prepare for our first time visit in the Moremi Game Reserve. Can’t wait for our first Safari experience of this iconic location.

Botswana is an absolute fantastic country to overland and Gunnland (Our 79 series Landcruiser) is right at home in the wild and untouched parts of Africa!!
