Interesting to read Botswana side. Will be checking on this trip frequently.
Being lost near VZR can be quite an issue. Read of a couple stranded for a week on their way to McCarthy's Rest on a farm. Glad you had some help to get you started.

This is going to be an interesting encounter with those characters
Great itinerary too! You really know how to do the Kgalagadi in style.

The Bots side will be forever closed for us, until we finally decide to try camping.

Mel - camping can be done in style
Lisbeth - I will try and keep the party clean - but I cannot promise
Toko - fortunately there were only two homo sapiens - the rest we encountered on our travels and were more than welcome.
