Hi everyone,
We just got back from 2400km round trip to the Kalahari desert, where we spent a week on a private game reserve of approximately 1400 sq km. Here's a teaser, will put up some wildlife photos and videos once I've sorted through the thousands of photos we took. Pics taken along the N14, one of the straightest, most desolate roads in ZA  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge -- 2010 Defender Puma 90 + BAS remap + Alive IC + Slickshift + Ashcroft ATB rear 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged

^ well, it's not like you have the space or the wildlife.
Mind you, this private game reserve is around 1400 square kilometres - you cannot see the boundaries from anywhere within the reserve.  --

1200km is a Sunday afternoon jaunt in your 5.0l V8 Range Rover.

Haha, yes, but not on the rural roads.
We did the trip over 2 days because the last part is a 100km gravel road through farmlands, and the risk of animal collision is too great. -- 2010 Defender Puma 90 + BAS remap + Alive IC + Slickshift + Ashcroft ATB rear 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged

Looks wonderful, would love to explore Africa more. Also this highlights that the world is lacking well composed photographs of apex predators taking a dump

Great pics, can’t wait to ship our 110 out & explore. Did Namibia & Botswana in hire vehicles but nothing like being in you own truck.
