It was a long day of driving from Windhoek, and we crossed the boarder into Botswana after lunch. There was a few more hours of driving before arriving at Ghanzi.

In the morning we had a facinating walking tour with the San people (or bushman). Traditionally the San people were nomadic hunter-gatherers who travelled in small family units of 25-30 people. They have disappeared through war and only 55,000 remain in mainly Botswana and Namibia. Even though they live in settlements, our walking tour was demonstrating the survival skills which is being taught to the younger generations.
