No, I don't think we'll write it off too soon: we hope to go there, if it will not appear as an unsurmountable problem.

Justabum, thank you for the time you spent to give me your helpful information. As I have the time, I will follow to look info about that area, but for sure the last answer, the most important, is that we will find there.

We think we'll exit South Africa by Pioneer Gate to Lobatse, then north to Ghanzi, Maun, Caprivi and east to Zambia. At the present, we are thinking to come back to South Africa by eastern Botwana, then again Pioneer Gate. This way, we can stop in Gaborone. I know it's not the beatiful city in Africa, but we'd like to see it. In km, It seems there is not a big difference.

Malawi was our original destination when we was thinking to go with our own motorbikes, but finally we preferred to change our plan. Malawi-Mozambique (but also Malawi-Tanzania) is my idea for the future.

I don't know if we'll be lucky enough, but for sure we have not the bravery of the irresponsible. We want to see and know the more is safely possible.
