Hi,
My wife and I will be traveling trough Botswana this fall. We will tour the Kgalagadi TP, Khutse onto CK GP, Pans, Nxai, Moremi and Chobe.

We like to cross the SA/Botswana border at Bray. Does anyone know if I can get petrol at Werda before going into the cutline at Kokotsha?
The cutline Kokotsha – Mabua seems to start with a gate... Can you go through here? Or do you have to take a other path around before rejoining the cutline? We will drive the on the 9th in the AM.
Before going into Khutse and onto CK GP (via Bape/Xade) what would be our last fuel place? Is this Kang or does Motwamosu, Takatokwane or Salajwe provide petrol?
Any additional advise on route Khutse - Bape/Xade?
Anyone know if Rakops has petrol? This is where I come out of CK GP.... I'll be in need of gas! any other place for gas?
Anyone know if Gweta has petrol?

Any other advise?
Any thoughts on fuel consumption? (I have a 180l petrol tank)

Thanks, Johan and Brit

Hi, Johan,

- Gweta fuelstop at the main road is closed (don't know if there is a possibility in the village, we didn't see one...)
- If there ist no gas in Rakops try in Mopipi (40km >SE)

Nice journey. lilytrotter

Hi johan and brit,

Do you know this site? I think there you can find some informations.

And i think for Khutse - CK you need two cars.

Good luck, if you don't have your bookings yet.
