Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Thanks for the report Alex, glad you shared the car issues as I am planning to visit that area in 2017 hopefully and deed to know what to expect.....specially the fuel issue.

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

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"
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.

Lekker trip Alex

Tyd is min om alles weer reg te kry vir River trip - jy moet wikkel

Great report and epic trip!

Thank you for the report.
It helps with my planning for December.

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.
