This where daddy takes over: Rakops garage. There is now permanently diesel in Rakops, and the old hand pump has been replaced. This is the last stop for fuel before entering the Kalahari. You can get water at the Motsware gate. They also sometimes have forewood there (but not always, so worth taking your own). Once you are in the park there is no firewood.
