Mashatu Tented Camp Mashatu Game Reserve

Just 30 minutes later we continue into Botswana, here the landscape is much dryer and the population much less dense compared to South Africa. As well the general wealth ...

This did not seem to be a good idea - my new pals in Gabs actively discouraged the route &amp; plied me with sufficient Tulbach cabernet over an extended lunch at George's Google earth reference to be inserted her - so I took the bus the ...
