Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Day 0 (24 March 2012):

Myself (1996 4.2 SGL), Tinus (2003 4.8 GRX), Gerrit (2001 4.5 GRX), Johan (2004 Hyundai Terracan 3.5 + Jurgens Xplorer) and Marius (1198 Prado 2.8 Diesel) meet at the Petroport north of Pretoria at 05h00 and head north, turning through Potties and on toward Groblersbrug. My Father had left the day before in his 2004 2.7 Hilux Legend 35, and Gustav met us just before the border post (another 2.7 Hilux).

The border crossing proved easy and speedy, nobody even got searched. We headed for the garage just inside the border and filled all our tanks and jerry cans, then headed for the pans via Palapye and Lethlakane. Just after our first sighting of the pans and just in time for sunset, we found my father where they had scouted a nice campsite for us.

I am looking forward to this VERVOLG VERHAAL you are putting together

Day 1:

Today Botswana welcomes us with a magnificent sunrise!
We have a lot to do today, so we push on for Kubu. At the turnoff to the shortcut, there is some mud but we decide to take the chance. The road proves fairly easy, with just enough mud to make things interesting. As we arrive at Kubu, a heard of springbuck bound (bounce?) away. We find that we are alone and thus have the pick of the campsites. Shortly thereafter we start preparing for the wedding, wich is scheduled to start at 17h00.

At 16h45, my parents, brother and I am sitting in the "church", waiting.
By 17h15, not even one of the other guests have arrived yet...
Shortly thereafter, they all arrive in a bunch.

We then retired to the camping area for one hang of a party.
