- Botswana Part II Dagen derpå, etter en liten barrunde i Maun så skal vi på en lengre reise til noe som heter Flexible Game Reserve. Det er i praktisk store nasjonalparker som en får lov til å kjøre Posted by spydx in Discovering the world | May 14, 2012
- Botswana 3 ways – air, road & waterBotswana is home to two of the most amazing wildlife sanctuaries – the Okavango Delta and the Chobe National Park. With only a few days in the country it was difficult to spend too much time in any one place Posted by 270days in Around the world in 270 days | May 5, 2012
- Across a paddock to BotswanaIn keeping with our theme of taking the most difficult routes possible we chose to cross the Namibia/Botwsana border just outside Tsumkwe in north east Namibia. Not much happens in Tsumkwe, which we have renamed “Swampy” for ease of reference. Posted by 270days in Around the world in 270 days | May 5, 2012
- Africa, Camping i villmarken!! Etter over et døgn med reise fra KL til Jo´Burg så kommer vi fram til Drifters Lodgen i Jo´Burg. Det er et hotel, med alle fasiliteter og vi tilbringer dagen i hagen og rundt bassenget før vi møter resten av Posted by spydx in Discovering the world | Apr 21, 2012

- Botswana… it’s all about the Elephants!After the border crossing into Botswana we got to the campsite and got the tents in place. After dinner as it was so cold we decided to start a campfire. Lee got nominated to go and collect some fire wood Posted by Cass - Lee in Cass & Lee's RTW Adventure | Apr 19, 2012
- Botswana We have travelled into Botswana and again the locals are some of the friendliest we have yet met, even the border crossing is relaxed and full of humour. The guys are not taking life too seriously. Our camp Posted by cd108 in No Job, No Home, No Worries | Feb 19, 2012
- Okovanga Delta; by boat and planeBotswana also lays claim to the Okavango Delta – the world’s largest inland swamp and certainly a place worthy of a few days of exploration. The delta is created by flood waters that occur during the wet season, creating Posted by Mike.Keely in The Adventures of Mike & Keely | Jan 29, 2012
- Beautiful BotswanaBotswana was never on the list of places we wanted to visit; I knew very little about the country and even less about what to see there. I did the least amount of research for this part of our Posted by Mike.Keely in The Adventures of Mike & Keely | Jan 24, 2012
- Next stop Xaxanaka...Waiting... waiting for the pickup to arrive... We stood at the gates to the Lodge compound and waited. The feeling was relaxed now that the grip of the flight was beginning to fade. Just after 11 we could see the Landcruiser Posted by kedner in Fratelli Parcheggio´s journey to Africa | Oct 11, 2011
- The Okavango from aboveToday is the day. We are going to get picked up by Rod early to head back to Maun for the scenic flight over the delta. As usual I woke up early to the sound of nature outside the chalet. I Posted by kedner in Fratelli Parcheggio´s journey to Africa | Oct 11, 2011
- Day 71 – Living in Luxury Nursing our lumpy bodies we hit another long sand road that traverses north eastern Botswana to a town called Kasane near to the border with no less than three countries: Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Once more we had the pleasure Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 12, 2011
- Day 70 – Bastarding MosquitoesThe road from Savuti to Linyanti Swamps is, first and foremost, not a road. It is thirty bulldozed kilometres of deep, axle deep, sand, interspersed with roots, stumps and small lakes. It took three hours of maintaining slightly high revs Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 12, 2011
- Day 68 to 69 – Game Park of the ‘Rich and Famous’ A long old sand and clay road to Savuti. Tourist camp of choice for the rich and famous says Lonely Planet, but most choose to fly in. Redvers was flyin’ and when we got to the camp office we told Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 6, 2011
- Day Sixty Six and Sixty Seven – Paradise FoundWe made our way out of Moremi traversing more pools and some, deeper than 60 centimetres in the middle, were too much to meet head on. Fortunately someone new this already and had bulldozed a new track through the bush Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 6, 2011
- Day Sixty Five – Kack-a-nacka Xampsite“Many of the animals have moved away from here, for a bit” said the guy running Xakanaxa camp site, “Maybe they’ll come back a little bit.” OK, we thought, half understanding. Our camp site was literally three metres from the Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 6, 2011
- Day Sixty Four – Lion Awake at Third BridgeOur time in Maun drew to a close and off we set; jerry cans full, towards Moremi Game Reserve. Moremi is a reserve inside the Delta, so far we’d seen the Okavango from the water and from the air, now Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 6, 2011
- Day Sixty Three – Pilots and Basket CasesThe Lonely Planet was for once exactly right. Our backpackers hostel did have a ‘bar-at-the-end-of-the-world’ feel to it. Propped up by middle aged men who looked like they never left and with ‘pilots and pretty girls chatting each other up.’ Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 3, 2011
- Day Sixty One and Sixty Two – Skid Pans and Baobabs There are two large salt pans just east of Maun called Mgadikgadi Pan and Nxai Pan, pronunciation here withheld. They are contained within one national park but separated by an A road and bounded in the south by the Boteti Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 3, 2011
- Day Sixty – Campsite ReservationsIn the last two or three years some bright Botswanan spark decided that all government run game parks and nature reserves should have their facilities privatised. The government still controls entry permits, and so gets plenty of park sustaining dosh, Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 3, 2011
- Day Fifty Eight and Fifty Nine – Fishy MoralsAs we climbed aboard our eighteen foot motorised tin can Somers and I both held vast amounts of anticipation for the day ahead. We had a boat and a skipper and a river. I was anxious to see what we Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 20, 2011
- Day Fifty Seven - Popa ‘Falls’ Not far from the border with Botswana, at the beginning of the Caprivi Strip, is Popa Falls. This misnomer is actually the name given to a series of rapids as the Kavango river flows south east towards Botswana and the Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 20, 2011
- Day Fifty Six – Crossing the lineA quick spin around a few watering holes and then we hit the road. We travelled out through Tsumeb, home to a cracking museum on ‘ze Germans’ and their eventual expulsion from South West Africa, and on the mineralogical magnificence Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 20, 2011
- Into the Okavango...We woke early because Rod would pick us up at 7:30 this morning. We needed to eat breakfast and make sure we got the packed lunch from the restaurant. Rod was on time but unfortunately the packed lunch Posted by kedner in Fratelli Parcheggio´s journey to Africa | Oct 10, 2011
- A lazy dayI woke up early to the sound of Hippos. It sounded like they where further up the river so I went outside in hope of catching a glimpse of them. No luck but the morning greeted with warmth and sunshine Posted by kedner in Fratelli Parcheggio´s journey to Africa | Oct 9, 2011
