After a quick drive through the park again we headed for Inhassoro, based on a recommendation by Mark. Hennie looked up possible fuel stops on the GPS and were advised that we could get fuel at Muxungue, which would basically take us to the limit on our tank. The road was reasonable good and we made good time. However, in Muxungue we were told that they do not have diesel, but we could get at Rio Save, another 110km away. We slowed down seriously to reduce drag and lower consumption, and prayed. About 50km from Rio Save the range on the trip computer read Zero kilometres. Just after we crossed the Save River, we pulled into a very desolate fuel station. No person in sight. Apparently there was no fuel available!

Anita went in search with a friendly smile, but no luck. Even asked the driver of a BP fuel truck if he could assist. Hennie and Adri scattered into different directions, but no one could assist. In the end they waited where the cars and trucks line up to cross the river, and found a truck driver willing to assist. He was carrying spare diesel in the back of his truck, at a reasonable price. That sorted us out to get to Inhassoro. From Rio Save to Inhassoro the road was severely pot-holed. We pulled into the Seta camp site, which was quite neat and had electrical power and flushing loos – a novelty.

That evening we spoiled ourselves again with a restaurant dinner.
