Botswana 2002 | ||||||||
A country I have hardly heard prior to my visit there but Botswana held its own amongst the best of Southern Africa. We camped at the largest inland delta - Okavanga Delta - in Botswana. And went without proper shower for two days while we cleaned ourselves in crocodile infested rivers (that's what we were told!) although I saw no crocs. :) We camped in the bush and heard Zebras crossing the river near our campsite at night. We got stranded on the way back to Botswana from Victoria Falls and played blackjack in the bush while waiting for our ride to return with fuel. We saw cotton fields along the way and tried harvesting the cotton. We saw gigantic anthills that looked like phallic symbols. Hahaha ... All in all, it was a fantastic experience! |

Being poled at the delta. We sat really precariously on dugout canoes. We can't really sit properly but had to lie backwards so as to keep the balance of the mokoro! | ||||||||
Choosing our mokoros (dugout canoe) so that we could be poled to our campsite destination in the delta. | ||||||||

Stranded! Our dear driver partied too much in Victoria Falls that he forgot to fill up the fuel tank. The next day, all the gas stations were out of fuel. Thus, we ended up stranded in between Victoria Falls and the Delta. | ||||||||
