    On your 6-week trip: any car trouble?
    Regards

    • @NickfrNamibia
      @NickfrNamibia  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Plumber Plumber. What an interesting name🙂Nothing with the engine. I replaced a front right stabiliser because I heard a noise. Turned out it was the bushes on the rear leaf suspension. Also had a minor cut on one of my tires. So used the spare. When I came back in Cape Town they told me the tire is fine. I put it back on and is still using it. So no, not any serious car trouble.

    Very informative. Keep going.
    We are also planning for a road trip in June.
    After visiting Victoria Falls we will be crossing Botswana
    which route we should take to cross Botswana from Victoria Falls ?
    Is On Arrival Visa available in this route ?

    • @NickfrNamibia
      @NickfrNamibia  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not sure if you found my video about that crossing....not sure about which countries get the visa on arrival though....

      Wouldn't be able to say. I was still earning a salary, so wasnt doing too much accounting. I'll do more costing on my future trips

  • @georgevesely1314
    @georgevesely1314 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Plenty of info Nick. Great work.
    Q. Is there any restrictions where you can't drive solo? I understand the Bots Park requires two or more vehicles driven in convoy as safety precaution. Perhaps they have designated areas? Many thanks from Oz.

    • @NickfrNamibia
      @NickfrNamibia  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not as far as I am aware, I was not stopped and did all the parks solo, only requirement is a 4x4 vehicle. The only minimum 2 vehicles I can think of is the Botswana side of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, maybe the drive crossing from the Nossob rd to Mabuasehube gate.

      the most used are the Tracks4Africa. I am using their paper map for Zambia. They have a good map for Namibia as well. I've never used their digital maps. So far ive been ok with the maps.me app

      In general very safe. I prefer to be in camp at night. Just lock up valuables at night and keep them out of sight
