On Route
We traveled many gravel roads, smooth, sandy & badly corrugated. Due to dust that came in every where, an overall cleanup took place more than once! With a constant change of scenery, from gravel road to jeep track…. The ideal road conditions for the 4×4 and adventure bike enthusiast!
One of the most amazing places we visited, was Putsonderwater in the KALAHARI. This railway town has been a GHOST TOWN for many years…
