Just a quick question - will a Toyota Avanza be good enough on the normal Kgalagadi roads?

it seems to me Avanza is a bit higher (in size) than "normal" (sedan) car :thumbs_up:

and what do you call "normal" roads :whistle:

Eh,,,yes, Anne-marie. As DuQues put it so eloquently in an sms now, a normal sedan = a need for folding up Ducos! Me am fine, he's got long legs.
With normal roads I mean the ones everybody says are doable with a sedan.

Location: Red sand, why do I keep thinking of red sand?

Mostly the Aoub riverbed and the second duneroad. Maybe a bit of the new Twee Rivieren - Nossob road.
But that last bit we will find out nearer to the date. Which happens to be in
156 days can be converted to one of these units:

13,478,400 seconds
224,640 minutes
3744 hours
22 weeks (rounded down)

sable road is normal road in Kgalagadi :lol:

dune's roads are a little bit hard (not difficult... hard... in touch :think:

English

)

a little bit like snow in Europe... except in the sand we stay stuck instead of skiing :whistle:

Morning all,

Just rectify some of the information regarding recommended ground clearance for vehicles in the park. I have received some expert advice where it was suggested that 190mm would be the recommended clearance.

Hope this helps

Hello Jan,

In an earlier post (your post dtd. Oct. 18, 11) you mentioned among the activities a "photographic safari".
Could you please provide more details about this activity?
After a "quick look", I could not find any thread about it.
Thanks.

Nina
