KANG ULTRA STOP: IF YOU REALLY NEED IT
DAO Says: There actually are several hotels in Kang. The Kang Ultra Stop is a petrol garage with air-conditioned rooms, camping, facilities for caravans, showers, food (restaurant), bar, bigscreen TV and of course beer (see the sign - it's on there!). They also have mechanics for...
DAO Says: Kang is a great place to stop in the middle of the Trans-Kalahari Highway. One reason is they have fuel! They also have a BOB (Bank of Botswana) ATM machine. Even with the air conditioning in your car you will be hot and need a cold drink. The BP and the larger Kang Ultra...
extrajoce Says: In the middle of nowhere, we did our unfueling… (just off the highway to Namibia). This is a good way of breaking down the journey. We were also observing the trees with weaver bird nests and many interesting elements of the dry grasslands, such as the way plants adapt to...
NO STUPID LOUD MUSIC OUT OF YOUR CAR
DAO Says: I found this fantastic sign in Kang at the Kang Ultra Stop. How many times has someone driven past you in a car with music suicidally loud? The worst part being that it always seems to be really bad music played by complete idiots who just look stupid. Why do they feel the...
extrajoce Says: In the middle of nowhere stood Kang. This is where we refueled, just a few kilometers east off the trans-kalaharian that crosses the country. Looking back, we didn't even feel any safety issue, and were just so amused at being in such a remote place.
extrajoce Says: They all look pretty much like this, as it gets drier moving west, towards Namibia. Any stop along the road will offer such beautiful and remote sights, and may even reveal animal life or signs of it.
extrajoce Says: Along the road in Botswana, this monitor lizard was hissing and puffing when we approached it. We saw weaver bird nests, genets, springhares, ostrich, etc… If one looks out, there is so much wildlife to see.
extrajoce Says: We made a stop at a waterhole not far from the road, as we could see there were many birds flying around it. We were amazed by the number of species we were able to spot. There were even animal tracks in the moss. This broke the long journey and made for a preliminary...
extrajoce Says: Happily waving at us on a road in Botswana, these school children are one of many amusing sights as one drives along the road. The down side of driving is the number of birds killed at such speed, but there isn't much to be done unfortunately. The trans-kalaharian road is...

Q: Do you except Wesbank Auto feul cards.
A: What do you exactly mean? Did you mean "accept" for except and "fuel" for feul? or you meant something else?

The amazing trans-kalaharian road
The trans-kalaharian is a very convenient way to get to Namibia from SA. On the way, Botswana was a very good surprise, as we were able to spot many interesting animals, both during the day and in the...
