Makgadikgadi East<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

On April 4, we enter the national park from the east at the new Makolwane Gate. “Deep sand, only accessible with a robust off-road vehicle” is written in our travel guides. We have no idea whether a Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 is a “robust off-road vehicle” – probably not, as this generally refers to the Toyota Landcruiser. The friendly lady at the park gate says we just have to try it out, as it hasn’t rained for a while now. So we let the air out of our tires – not all of them, of course! At the rear we reduce the pressure by 50% from 4.6 to 2.4 bar, at the front by 30% from 3.3 to 2.3 bar. To prevent our radiator from becoming clogged with grass seed, we stretch the specially procured net in front of the radiator, otherwise there would be a risk of the engine overheating.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
