we count in hours... -O
TR to MM in the Auob River +/- 2h 1/2 (about 120 Km from Twee Rivieren to Mata Mata)
and TR to Grootkolk in the Nossob River +/- 6h (about 150 km to Nossob + 120 km to Grootkolk)
if you read, there is km on the map, between each point... each waterhole

But it is better to count in hours and then alllow for sightings.
You need to allow plenty of time for sightings... Usually we'll need 2 hours only until Kieliekrankie. -O
nan, I think the 2.5 hours is actually for reaching Uri. I know that somewhere on SP website it
says TR to MM in that time. (
) But somewhere else they talk about 3.5 hours to MM and 2.5 until Uri.
Kinda confusing if you haven't done the route yourself but 3.5 until MM is more realistic anyway.
