The most untouched and beautyful Game reserve is an absolute must if you are in Botswana! Leave a Comment

The road to the caves is very difficult and should only be attempted in convoy with other vehicles. You must allow for very heavy fuel consumption and carry more fuel than normal to cater for this. Take everything you will need to stay there, and add an extra day for safety. There is nothing at the caves, no water, fuel or provisions. The caves are well worth seeing. Please see my travel page for more - Enjoy. Other Contact: e-mail Fieldsale@verref.co.za

Two of my favorite activities were done on foot. We had a ranger who grew up in the bush, and he took us on a walk into the bush. You don't see large game, which is a good thing, but you see quite a bit of Africa you won't get on a drive. Highlight was a lesson on how to get water and stimulants from a tree limb (we got samples to taste). The other activity on foot was a climb to the top of a hill at a ruin site (another ranger with archeological knowledge accompanied us) - exhilarating, and the View! Saw elephant shrews at the top (try spotting these from a moving vehicle). And we walked around and picked up beads from old civilizations - artifacts everywhere! Leave a Comment

We have been through Botswana 3 times. Each time hiring a fully equiped 4WD and drivng through the national parks and camping in the bush campsites. Nxai Pan we found to be fantastic. Kalahari National Park, Moremi and, if you want to see elephants and plenty of them, Chobe National Park is amazing.
