"For those who think it's not too wet at Kubu here is a picture of 2 vehicles
stuck on the "dry " route. We got out the Rangie and the Prado got himself
out. They didn't have appropriate recovery equipment..."

Tracks south of Kubu Island still wet:

Some experience and good offroad driving skills are advisable. Use Low gear second or third when crossing the wet sections ;)

Back from a whistlestop trip to Kubu.

It was hot. It was wonderful. And shared with good friends.

A few notes:

1. The road is now tarred all the way to Mmatshumo...
2. The fees as published on the official entrance sign are not correct. To
this should be added VAT and a conservation fee of P2 pp. Good wood
obtaibale at Kubu for P14 a generous bundle.
