Bosobogolo Pan Botswana to Tsabong to Green Zest to Hunters Moon to Johannesburg

It was a 25km sandy track back to the entrance gate at Mubua, then it was about a 2 hour drive down a sandy then corrugated track to Tsabong. This was the start of the return journey to Joberg that was going to take us four days. At Tsabong we stopped at the supermarket for supplies then drove the 11km out to Camel Park campground. The next morning it was a hot 380km drive to Green Zest farm on the A2. We got there at around 4:30pm after driving through a grassfire on the A2.  From Green Zest it was around 120km to the border at Pioneer border post. As usual the Botswana crossing was fine. I was nervous about how I would go getting a TIP (Temporary Import Permit) from South African customs, but it worked out OK. We crossed into South Africa, stopped at the mall in Zeerust, then camped at Hunters Moon, the third time I had stayed in two months. From then it was around 260km run to Benoni, with a stop along the way at Rustenberg to go to the outdoor warehouse. We arrived in Benoni late afternoon. Then the next day it was pack up and get the camper ready for storage, plus a bike ride to Oakfield shopping centre and lunch at Ocean basket. Saturday morning it was an Uber to Joberg Airport.
