After two flights and a layover in Ethiopia, we finally arrived in Maun in Botswana. We flew into Maun, not Gabarone, the capital, because Maun is the entry point for the Okavango Delta. The Okavango is the main tourist area in Botswana.
Stepped off the plane at the small airport and it's hot (36c) and dry as. Picked up by the hire car people do all the hire car stuff. In Namibia we had a well loved Hi Lux with many km on the clock. This time its still a Hi Lux but with less than 7000km on the clock, a screen, Android Auto and all the mod cons. Not set up for camping so no fridge or water tank. It's part time 4wd so I'll have to remember that.
Drove to our accommodation. Its nice. Not posh but homey, neat and clean. Nice gardens but no grass. This is desert country and dry as.
Tomorrow we will hit the shops to stock up with a bit of food and a lot of water. Also get the special nice smelling insect repellent you wear to bed. Like west Africa, this is malaria country.Read more
