Did this route SOLO last year in August 2023. The campsite had just been destroyed by the elephants when I got there. Green fresh leaves all over. Great to see it recovered. Those are hard going roads. Broke a mirror on that Bape / Xaxa road. The X is a click on the roof of your mouth. Imagine a bushman sound. FYI as I understand it yes the CKGR local people prefer to be called Bushmen and not Khoisan. Lethiahua is a massive push for one day - 9hours on Tracks for Africa with no stops 😱. Took me all day from Piper to Xaxa. Going to have to watch the next one to see how that worked out😀. CKGR is epic. Busy slowly uploading my trip to KZfaq as well. PS Subscribed🤙

Fantastic place. I was happy just trawling through the bush, miles from anywhere. Endless tracks, heat, dust, isolation... Solo is pretty ballsy - although you DO have a Troopy, which is quite a bit more capable than the Hiluxes. Yes, Letiahau was ambitious from Xaxa (180 k's or so). A test of stamina😅🥵. At Xade gate we had a group vote and the rookies were happy to find civilisation again - can't blame them in the conditions as first-timers. Have to go back now!😊 Happy with our route though (an extra jerrycan would have made all the difference) and can now tick off a section of the Kalahari. Gotta say though, Xaxa is quite an amazing spot for a piece of dirt in the middle of nowhere! Cheers for the comment (subbed back - will check out Bots Solo Ep1🤙) Keep rollin' out there!

Why do you find it strange that there is a remote Khoisan village there? That is their native land and their way of life woven in with the kalahari ecosystem.

Thank you for your kind and considered words of encouragement. This leads me to believe that you haven't seen the next video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ps6boMajyJmXdJs.html nor have you read the blog (about half way down): asimplyfab.life/driving-the-central-kalahari-game-reserve/ But hey, this is why we travel - to learn and experience something new wherever you go.
