Maun Shopping

We spent last night with the owners of Thakadu rest camp and the reason there is no animals is because there was a drought last February and they were culled. A month later the rains came and the camp was under 1.5 meters of water and it’s been raining on and off since. Só except for our unwanted encounter with 2 snakes nothing came to camp. But we did see a warthog and 2 jackal at the waterhole.
We left Thakadu at 9am and it was a 280km journey to Maun and the sitatunga camp. We pitched up and went straight to Maun for shopping. 2 days without meat and I was starving só for lunch we even stopped at wimpy.
After shopping we stopped at the Botswana wildlife offices to get our permits for Nxai Pan, that was easier than we thought and we were back at camp by 4:30pm when we lit a fire with some left over firewood.Read more
