Botswana Fly-Ride
After having a brilliant time doing a fly-ride from Capetown to Windhoek and back this January, we're looking at doing something similar in the not too distant future but this time taking in Botswana.
I bought a guide book of course, and it mentions that many of the roads are sandy. The hard graded roads of Namibia were generally fine on a GS1200 two up, but sand is a different kettle of fish. What are the road conditions generally in Botswana off the main tarmac routes?
We would like to fly in to Joburg, pick up a bike and then head north to Chobe via the Makgadigadi then go west to the Okavango and into Namibia, (maybe) up to Etosha and then south (that bit a known quantity) Because of work we can only travel in December or January (probably not Jan cos of the rain!).
All advice welcome.
