and only after that does it become a “bush” road.
Travel
32km on sandy roads to South Gate, where you will take the road
to “Xakanaxa” (not to Third Bridge). The Department
of Wildlife official at South Gate will show you the road to
take. Follow this sandy road for another 41km until you pass
the Wildlife Department and Xakanaxa Airstrip on your right.
Approximately 4km on, at the T-junction, turn right and find
the entrance to Xakanaxa Camp on your left.
Road Conditions:
All the roads in Moremi require a four-wheel drive vehicle.
During the rainy season the clay soils through the Mopane woodland
are difficult to negotiate. The sandy soils are more easy to
negotiate during the rainy season because they become compacted.
The worst sand in Moremi is in the Third Bridge/Mboma Island
area and the worst clays in the Mopane woodland.
