Hi,

We are planning a Botswana trip. Usually we trailer to Groblersbrug border post (We leave our car and trailer at Big Fig inn just before the border), and cross the border on the bikes.
As this border crossing seems to take most traffic going north in Africa, after the problems at Beitbridge, the border crossing now takes hours instead of minutes in previous years.

I would like to cross at PondDrift, as this seems like a very small crossing.You seems to be directly in the Northern Thuli Game reserve when crossing?
So my question is, are you allowed to ride there on motorcycles?
Also, any leads on places on the SA side, as close as possible to the borderpost, where we can camp, and park the car and trailer for the week?

Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks, Werner.
