• Cape Town to Gaborone with XCAP Overland •
In late July, Fabien joined XCAP Overland on a five-day, 1,500+ kilometre journey from Cape Town to Gaborone, helping deliver two specially converted Land Rovers to Botswana.
The route took him through Vanrhynsdorp, Brandvlei, Olifantshoek and Stella, combining long stretches of tar with gravel roads and five nights of camping through the Northern Cape.
XCAP Overland specialises in overland adventures across Southern Africa, combining remote travel and self-drive exploration with comfortable, purpose-built camping vehicles.
The journey gave Fabien the opportunity to experience the vehicles and overland concept first-hand, before the Land Rovers continued into Botswana for their next adventure.
A huge thanks to Manon & Aurelien from XCAP Overland for hosting Fabien.
