Just an idea so far, for a trip that might happen or might not.
I have been delegated :shock: :? by the DR group I ride with to work out a trip through Namibia up to Katimo Mulilo.
Now I have followed all the Namibain reports done by the members and have a fairly good idea of where I want to go up to Opowu.
From there details/options are very uncertain.
Option 1
Go up to Ruacana and from there down the border with Angola to Rundu.
From the basic maps I could get on the net so far, there seems to be nice dirt options up to Rundu.
Option 2
From Opowu back "under" Etosha through Kamanjab, Otavi and Tsumeb/or Grootfontein. Looks like one could do nice dirt.
Uncertainties:
From Rundu to Katimo and Tsumeb/Grootfontein to Katimo I can't find any details on roads. Shows only 1 main road. Sure there must be others. (I will invest in a proper map soon - Not sure what yet :roll: )
Is it safe? Land mines etc.
Got this from the net from a 4x4 trip done in 2001.
Maybe skip the Kavango Province and go through Botswana to the Caprivi?
Remember, the trip starts in Pretoria and can be done Botswana-Caprivi etc and end in Kuruman then Pretoria or vica versa.
Or am I expecting too much from a bunch of overweight moegoe's to complete a trip like this. We will be riding with back-vehicles.
My main concern is safety. Personal safety from outside forces. Not the roads.
Comments?
