At this stage I only have 127L of fuel if you combine my main and sub tank which will not be enough at all for those long stretches.
Nice report and pics

Re: Kaokoland
Epic trip! I saw a picture of a tyre repair. Any problems with the tyres other than punctures?

Johan Snyman who wrote a book on travelling through Kaokoland adivses "at least two spare tyres"Pieter B wrote:Epic trip! I saw a picture of a tyre repair. Any problems with the tyres other than punctures?
We did not use one. We had 4 Kumho MTs on.
Our travel companions also had two spares and had four BFGs ATs on. They did no have any punctures.
We had one puncture that I managed to put a plug in. As fluke had it we were stopping at Palmwag at which time I heard it blowing down. Only seconds later the TPMS alarm went off.

Re: Kaokoland
Alex,
That looks absolutely epic. Thanks for the report. We're sort of planning a trip in similar areas next year, so this will help me decide on some of the details. Appreciate it.
Lovely pics.
