As a lot of clients don't know the area very well they don't have a clue which places you could drive on in the past.

A few examples which I think can't be reached or are very difficult to get to:

Mombo: Boro + Sinbira floodplains
Chitabe: Gomoti channel
Duba plains: driving was already a challenge in drier years - some areas are out of reach there
Vumbura: Paradise
Kwara: Tsum tsum
Moremi: roads near Khwai river
Xakanaka: dead tree island

In previous years, I spend a lot of time in all of those areas.

It has a major impact on gameviewing in general but that doesn't mean you won't see anything or very little but don't expect it to be that spectacular as there was very little water.
