Sign up to our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/b6-pGr We offer great GPS maps that will navigate you from Cape Town to Cairo. Our map of Africa reflects where people travel and is packed with detail for the self-drive traveller. It covers many aspects like where to stay, eat, shop and refuel, as well as money matters, emergencies and obviously what to see and do when you visit a place. View our online map of Africa to see what level of detail we offer on our GPS maps. Our website contains loads of information on the places you see on our maps. If you are looking for campsites or accommodation in Africa, then simply browse our maps or search the website. In addition to our GPS maps we also produce paper maps for selected countries in Africa. To date we have a Namibia map, Botswana map, Zambia map, Mozambique & Malawi map and our South Africa paper map which includes Lesotho and Swaziland. Our Garmin-compatible GPS maps are great for trip planning when used on your PC. You can set up planned routes and calculate how long it would take to reach a destination. Then browse the maps to see where you can sleep, fill up with fuel or buy stuff. We also have an App available on the Google Play store and iTunes Store, namely the T4A Guide App. The Guide App is a reference app with maps that resembles the cartography you find on our paper maps, zoomable and offline. It is combined with all of our guide information. Points of interest show contact details etc, making it easy to get hold of a camp site or lodge near you, or find fuel and places of interest. The Guide App does not provide turn by turn navigation but will show your GPS location on the map as you drive. Think of it as a full set of paper maps and guide books in electronic format, all in your pocket. Our Guid App works offline, i.e. no internet connection required once installed. The app also makes use of the internal GPS of your device to determine your position.

The vistas of a mountain pass, the drama of a poort cutting through the landscape – Joubertspoort Pass near Montagu delivers on both counts. It's a rugged road that is only for experienced offroaders (you need 4WD with low range). But doesn't that view make you want to hit the road?

Travelling Joubertspoort Pass was one of the breathtaking moments on Willem Rudolph's gravel trip from Johannesburg down to Agulhas. Read more: https://buff.ly/gLy7Nw7

We get a kick out of seeing where our maps and guides take overlanders. For this intrepid traveller hailing from Chile, the route led to Chitake in Mana Pools National Park. Completely wild with no facilities, Chitake offers exclusive camping for adventurous types who enjoy being alone in the bush. Find these and other campsites through Tracks4Africa: https://buff.ly/4GuJEyt

Monday Moment of Chill: The painterly sky lends a sense of peace to this early morning moment at Jack's Pan. The previous night, photographer Mariska Bartlett had been huddled in her rooftop tent convinced that the next lightning strike would be the end of her. Read more: https://buff.ly/jMIp6ip

Travelling to/through Zimbabwe with a foreign-registered car? Make sure you know the ins and outs of the Temporary Import Permit (TIP). The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, ZIMRA, is reportedly strengthening controls.

If you're driving a foreign-registered car to or in Zimbabwe, listen up!
ZIMRA is cracking down on Temporary Import Permits (TIPs) due to abuse.

New Requirements:
- *Extra checks* (ZIMRA has not specified) but Temporary Import Permit for non-owner driven vehicles (like rentals/hired/borrowed cars) will not be automatic like before.
- Must show letter of authority if it's not your car
- Permit valid for 30 days maximum (extendable)
- You must take car when you leave unless Zimbabwe Revenue Authority - ZIMRA says otherwise

If travelling to Zimbabwe through Beitbridge these are the fees.
- US$10 carbon tax
- US$30 insurance
- US$9 bridge toll
- US$28 Zimborders fee

So, basically, ZIMRA is not so clear on what is required but just said there will be extra checks involved.

Can you get from Johannesburg to the Cape coast on gravel? Willem Rudolph set out to see if he could make his way from north to south without touching tar.

Journeying through the Nuweveld Mountains of the Karoo was a highlight, he says. Travelling on an adventure bike, he found the gravel roads challenging, with dry riverbeds, washouts and rocky tracks. But with scenery like this, it was well worth it.

Planning a Botswana trip? Start with the big picture. At a 1:1,000,000 scale, our Botswana paper map gives a country overview that's ideal for macro planning. At the same time, it's detailed enough to plot your route through wild places like Chobe, Moremi and Mabuasehube.

Along with border posts and main services, it shows distance and travel time, with all roads driven and GPS-verified by the Tracks4Africa community. This isn't just a map. It's the key to your next adventure.

Monday Moment of Chill: The empty roads of the Northern Cape invite you to slow down and soak up the solitude. On a gravel road between Klein Pella and Pofadder, the Tracks4Africa video team got to see just how green the Kalahari can be after good summer rains. This moment comes from episode 2 of season 7 in the Adventure Finder series. Watch now: https://buff.ly/3aGSaVf
