Botsalano Game Reserve

We were up at 6:30am and it didn’t take too long to pack up and we were on the road by 8:30am.
We had a 360 kilometre drive to our next destination of Botsalano Game reserve and it was going to take us atleast 5 hours.
Just out of red sands we dieseled up and the petrol station was obviously the place to be at 8:30am on Sunday morning as it was packed with black guys but not alot of cars. Some of the social culture out here is really weird. Then it was 100km to the town of Vryburg where we stopped at a big mall which was in a black area, and looked predominantly black and sketchy but there were a few whites wandering around so we thought it would be ok. We only needed snacks and ran into the superspar and got some hot food for brunch then we cruised the 260 remaining kilometres right upto the customs post at the Botswana border and turned right onto a very broken up tarmac road. Then we turned left onto sand and gravel for 15km before finally coming to Botsalano game reserve.
A botswanan guard came out and let us in and then signed us in. We were staying at Signal hill bush camp and from the main entrance it was almost another hours drive.
When we arrived there were some day visitors using the Braai and fire pit so which they shouldn’t have been so we had to wait for them to pack up and leave before we made camp.
This place is super remote and it’s the furthest from civilisation we have been. There’s no fences, no electric and no water although there should have been water but we’ve got plenty.
We pitched up and put the storm tarp on as it was black and cloudy but it didn’t rain and at 5:30pm we lit a big fire on the fire pit. Then I brought the kindle outside and the Bluetooth speaker and we watched tv in front of the fire until bedtime.En savoir plus
