Team Land Rover Botswana rumbles into the CKGR

There is a camel thorn tree just outside the Khutse Game Reserve gate popularly known as ‘Setlhare sa ga Ntuane’ (Botsalo Ntuane’s tree). It is an ungazetted camp spot that I heard was notorious for epic bush parties back in the days when Ntuane was still ‘eating life with a big spoon’. But like the Las Vegas code, the old pilgrims to the Ntuane’s Tree say, ‘what happened at Ntuane’s Tree stayed at Ntuane’s Tree’ and I did not succeed to get the stories of what really happened there. But this is not a story about Ntuane’s tree. It is about a noble travel expedition into the CKGR (passing by Ntuane’s Tree) to the two Basarwa settlements of Gugama and Mothomelo with Team Land Rover Botswana.

“Of all Land Rovers ever manufactured, 90% are still on the road. The other 10% made it home,” I never really understood this saying by Land Rover diehards (and haters) until I ventured on this trip with Landy devotees.
