In order to get that density altitude at 3100' and 49C the QNH would have to be about 0950. So either you happened to be in the eye of a hurricane when you made that measurement, or your GPS was...

Really? Maybe on some bush strips, but the ones in the Okavango are all around 1000m by now aren't they? Anyone half competent should be able to bring a full caravan to a stop within 600m or so...
