**Advice**
In these area you will find many unpaved roads that are easy to drive during the dry season (Nov – May). But please note that during the rainy season (May- November) it is recommend to drive it with 4x4 only. If you ever encounter a small river crossing, please be aware that during the dry season it may be easy to cross it, but not during the rainy season . We DO NOT encourage our clientele to drive on these 4x4 only roads and cross these rivers at any time of the year. Please use always your common sense!
