I travelled to Southern Africa in the summer of 1997 with three friends. We borrowed a 4WD vehicle and drove across three countries, camping each night wherever we happened to be. It was sublime. We were based in Francistown, the old colonial captial, which has now been surpassed by Gaborone as the political capital. From here we visited Nada, a small village on the road to Maun. Then, from Maun to the Okavango Delta where we glided through the swamps in a mokoro raft, beside hippos and crocodiles. This was one of the most serene experiences of my entire life, just so incredible. Next was a long drive through the salt pans and beyond to the border with Zimbabwe. |
