In December 2023, my friend and I drove his Kia from Pretoria to Gaborone. I was navigator and he drove the car. My GPS gave me the same insane road. That was a hell of a ride, i wasnt allowed to do the navigation back to PTA again 😢. But joh, finally driving on the main road instead of the dust one, is an almost emotional feeling of releve (i'm European, only been in SA for an academic semester exchange).
Did the same trip, spent R1400(full tank 60L) on my 2017 Merc c200 and got to Gaborone airport with half tank and my average speed was 140 to 150 kph. I Used same amount fuel as picanto if not less with a big car 😂. Small cars are good but for a long distance the engine will work twice as harder to cruise at high way speeds. My fuel range was around 850 to 900 kms, a diesel engine would have done 1000+kms or one tank for the return trip with ease. Nice trip though brother that looks like a nice experience especially driving to another country Botswana is very beautiful especially driving via Zeerust👌 😅, just don't like the sanitizing part where i must sanitize all my shoes at the border 😅.
@@gangdigitals Disease control, especially if there's been an outbreak of "foot and mouth" in one part of the country, or an outbreak in the neighbouring countries. As you know that Botswana is cattle country, it's for their protection.
I just like how language is not a Barrier between South Africans and Batswana ..., the way this guy was communicating with with Botswana Police was like bro never left his home country at all... , same language same food
Botswana is a small country , they consume majority of South African content i.e. music , culture, movies food so going to Botswana as a South African you're not going to struggle but a Botswanan coming to South Africa has to adjust a bit, it's not really the same same
@@gangdigitals I'm usually on 1500-1800rpm at 100km/h. Also I expected a price breakdown at the end of the video, would've been dope if you included that.
Botswana is such an amazing country and the people there even more amazing. I hope it stays that way.

Thanks I have one like 2017 manual so I can go to Botswana waiting for your input mines Red
Nice baby hope you taking care of it
I'm interested in knowing how much total you spent in toll gate fees, boarder gate fees, snacks including the fuel.
R900 petrol + R300 for the border + R200 snacks king 🙏🏽
🤣 this reminds me of your R50 diesel missions from Witbank to home 🤣, but on a serious note what was your average speed?
When you buy a 1.0 liter car to save money only for Ramaphosa's economy to say otherwise😭😭
Troll 😂😂😂😂😂
How true 😢😢😢😢😅😅😅
Bro why aren’t you using the main road why gravel ?
The GPS took Me here
dude which route did you take that got a dust road?
R49
Why ? To avoid a toll gate? Silly@@gangdigitals
@@thetad1242 that's your assumption
R900 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the pain
Thank you for the tip😂😅
That car’s tank can actually reach 40litres 😅,it’s only 30 litres because of airlock
The best 🫡🫡🫡🫡
You could have poured 500 to get to BOTSWANA and use their filling station there in BW
Their fuel burns fast
Why did you have to pay at the border?
Cars pay crossing to Botswana they don't have RAF like us
You didn't eat for the past three hours
using 3000rmp @100km\h is wild
Where was it suppose to be ?
