Besides the roaring sounds from big engines of competing vans and bikes, those travelling to Jwaneng and surrounding areas for this year’s Toyota 1000 Desert Race are guaranteed two days of unlimited entertainment.

The event kick-starts tomorrow and ends on Sunday. The 1000 Desert race returns this weekend in Jwaneng after years of absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The last race was held in 2019 in Selebi-Phikwe.

Facilities at the camp site include fixed braai/picnic areas, Terrace bar and restaurant at P250 per person per night. However, the fee does not include tent provision. DJ Ngwazi has also been lined up to perform at the People’s Festival billed to take place at Jwaneng Town Council Stadium tomorrow.
