Sorry - slightly confused. Your Routing appeared to be Khwai, Mbabe Gate, Savuti, Marsh River Road (where was the Shell Station, Linyanti Camp, then up to Kasane PR am I wrong ? Am planing for that in Sept 2025, hence keen to,know. We might head for Ihaha Camp en-route to Kasane though Driving time from Linyanti to Kasane ….. ? Thnx
hi we went from Khwai to the Mbabe Gate and through Savuti . There are two options through to Savuti - the Marsh Road and the Sand Road - check at the Mbabe Gate as to which is in best condition at the time. once you get to Savuti you can check again which road is in best condition - earlier in the day is a better option, the route was confusing as we had to ditch a trailer and then get fuel and then return for it. the village we refuelled at is called Mabele its about 50 or 60kms from Kasane. Linyanti to Kasana is around 4 hours depending on the road. one caution - I have seen other videos stating that they had had issues at Linyanti and Ihaha but its a year or more before you go. if you can get the Shell Tourist Map of Botswana (Travel and Field Guide) that would be a win. or the Tracks4Africa book. its one of Veronica Roodt's - I see it on shop.briza.co.za/categories/maps/veronica-roodt.html?p=2
