Just a thought Possable Pitstop , I'm not saying it is ..just a maybe ? Planet Baobab?
Gweta~
Planet Baobab is situated on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan, 5km (3.1 miles) from Gweta on the Francistown side of the turn-off and on the Francistown-Maun road. The Planet Baobab camp is accessible all year round by two 4x4 wheel drive vehicles. There is an airstrip nearby (Gweta) which can be used for a 45 minute air transfer from Maun. Planet Baobab is 9 hours from Johannesburg, 4 hours from Kasane and 2 hours from Maun.
Planet Baobab is located close to the village of Gweta, (also charmingly known as ' The Place of the Bullfrogs'), on the Francistown-Maun road and sheltered by a grove of gigantic baobabs.

Planet Baobab
2005 -
BWP100 - BWP210 pppn An accessibly priced Makgadikgadi experience which provides an opportunity for guests to learn more about Botswanas culture and traditions and the intriguing geological origins of the Makgadikgadi Pans. Situated close to the village of Gweta, (also charmingly known as “The Place of the Bullfrogs”), on the Francistown-Maun road and sheltered by a grove of gigantic baobabs, Planet Baobab combines style with comfort whilst remaining true to its traditional African inspiration.
Bushman grass huts, palatial Kalanga mud huts (with en suite bathrooms) traditionally painted with amazing designs and a shady campsite where you can pitch your own tents provide a plethora of different options at all price levels. We also have a superb restaurant serving up a selection of delicious dishes from all around Africa. It’s fun, funky and just a little bit quirky. Planet Baobab – it’s another world!
There is a wide variety of activities and packages available, to suit the independent and budget traveller - please ask for more details from us.
NOTE: Communication with this remote lodge is shocking and responses take from 3 to 6 days. We do not prebook/prepay the campsites, only the hutted

{l{ Yep, I'm just really REALLY bored. I'm on Spring Break but I'm just too sick too go out...
I was just reading the things about the Aardvark Statue from GeckoBeach... nice find with the possible Pit Stop too
I'm sure more previews and information will pop out soon, besides researching these things I have nothing else to do.

--- Quote ---Q: What was the longest race?
A: Race 5 — almost 75,000 miles. That is the equivalent of going around the equator three times. As for Race 7 (currently airing on CBS on Tuesday nights), I can't say. There are some surprises ahead.

Can it be a possible clue on how the race is going to go? It shines some light to England and Turkey being visited after the Oriental Country. I also heard that the Producers are sick of using Hawaii as the entry point to the USA.
Don't mind me... B:)

If Gweta, Botswana is nine hours by car from Johannesburg, that is a long way to have inexperienced people drive. Could it be that they fly? Gweta does have an airport. Would be a wonderful flight by biplane if they can fly that far.
