We stopped at the Wimpy in Francistown for breakfast and to fill up the Quantum.
We then headed North towards Zambia at around 8h30. We were now in the rural bushveld North of Francistown.
Stopping at Nata, Botswana at 11h00 for a fill up and snacks. Lets just say health food was not on the radar.
From Nata onwards we saw numerous elephants and potholes finally hitting one (pothole) properly at 13h30, which destroyed tyre and rim. We managed to change the wheel with no visits by elephants.
The team changing the wheel. Supervision was superb.
We arrived at the Kazungula Border Post 14h30. Attended to the formalities to leave Botswana.
Across the Zambezi on the Kazungula Ferry to Zambia at 15h00!
Immigration formalities entering Zambia.
Final stop (17h00) at the shops to stock up before last stretch to the farm.
Arriving at our campsite at 17h50. The Quantum then drove (by unnamed driver) straight into an old long drop getting it properly stuck.
We had a great welcome by some of the locals and our hosts from "Samba Land". The hospitality was amazing and truly humbling. Thank you to our hosts who went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of.
The "Samba Team" that hosted us were:
- Justine
- Patrick (Justine's brother)
- Warren
- Levi (Justine's brother)
- Siwal
- Nelford
- Martine Samba (Justine's dad)
- Mary Samba (Justine's mom)

Thank you Nick and Bryce for doing ALL the driving for a trip taking 22 hours!
