Got on the road at 8am for our trip into the Makgikgadi Pan . Arrived on the outskirts of the pan and set GPS coordinates for Kubu Island where we stay for the night. Almost immediately lost our gps track but kept going where no man has trod before, nearly wrecked the vehicle, but after half an hour we found our track again. Another 25 K’s arrived at Kubu Island. Only one other traveller at the site so could help ourselves to any spot. Found good place overlooking the pan when about 12 Landrovers arrived in convoy and proceeded to set camp right next to us. Plonkers!
We then de-camped and moved to another spot.
No ablutions here at all, just smelly “long drop” toilets.
God it’s hot !!
Lots of huge Baobab trees here so a very unique place only accessible by 4×4’s and a 4-5 hour off road drive. Very tasty chicken casserole for supper.
Had a 4am hike to the long drop to accompany Irene who was caught short at this very daunting hour of early morning. Unloaded a few days food ?
Can we find our way?
