A 1-of-a-kind adventure over 4 days, navigating through Mophane forests, thick Maun sand, a night under the stars on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, and then a trek around the top of the Makgadikgadi National Parks.
Opening and Closing Ceremony
The opening ceremony will be held on 28 September 2022, in Maun. Final venues will be announced closer to the time.

Riders will cover approximately 900km on this trip over 4 days. The longest day will be the third day when we traverse over the top of the Makgadikgadi National Parks, which will be approximately 280km. More info will be sent out closer to the time.
Back-Up Vehicle
Muddy Face Botswana has partnered with Motor Holdings Botswana to provide a full back-up crew for the Plains Adventure Rally, so those who do not have a back-up crew, no need for panic, your bags and gear will be taken to the next stop by the Motor Holdings crew.
If you have your own back-up crew they can join us and see you at the re-fuel points.
Medic Crew
Rescue One will be our medical crew and will assist in any injuries during the rally. Any emergencies will either be taken to Maun evacuation to a facility equipped to deal with the injury.
We do advise participants to ensure they have medical aid to cover any of these added expenses, as we will not be held liable for injuries.
Briefing
The initial briefing will be held in Maun on 28 September at 5pm. Thereafter there will be a daily briefing before the start of each day.
All riders and drivers need to be at every briefing.
Roadbook and GPS Categories
Choose between using a roadbook or a GPS as your navigational tool, or use both.
Roadbooks and GPS maps will be provided at documentation on 28 September.
Fuel Carrier and Points
Tswana Fuels will carry fuel for participants up to a total of 1000l. We do advise that participants bring fuel in containers to go on the Motor Holdings back-up vehicle.
There will be a fuel stop every 50km that your back-up crew can meet you at or the Motor Holdings Team and Tswana Fuels Team will be at to assist with your re-fuel.
Water will also be available.
Tracking Units
Each participating vehicle will be given a tracking unit. This is to ensure all participants are safe and that no-one is lost or left behind.
The unit works on GSM and Satellite which means even in areas with no mobile signal we will still be able to find you.
Please note that these are only for participating vehicles NOT for back-up crews.
