Route director Adri Roets and a team from the Botswana Tourist Organisation (BTO) has again displayed a Midas touch with the route for this year’s Toyota Kalahari Botswana 1000 Desert Race, round three of the South African Cross Country Series (SACCS) and a feast of motorcycle racing, in Jwaneng from June 22 to 24.

Roets and the team from BTO with the co-operation of district land boards and land owners have again come up with a route that matches up to the best traditions of the iconic race. The Desert Race is never an easy event – it wasn’t meant to be – the team are confident with a challenging route that incorporates the old with the new and at the same time is spectator friendly.
