Botswana - What to Expect

Stay at Nata Lodge, outside of town - otherwise don't bother stopping [also watch out for pot holes!!!] There is an awesome Braai on Sat nites!!!!

From here you can catch a bus through the national park Henri Pittier to the beach town of Puerto Colombia. Get money here because there are no ATMs in PC. There is one place that will do a dodgy cash advance on a credit card once you get there, if you ask around, but otherwise you are stuck. PC is a love it or hate it place. Good beach atmosphere, but definitly not an isolated stretch by any means. Just vey relaxing and Caribbean feeling. You can camp on the beach at Playa Grande. Double rooms in town go for about US$20 per night.

Be sure to look out for bush babies while at Nata (in the evening). These tiny monkeys with long tails are fed fruit near to the bar. They are so cool!

There are many places to camp in Kasane, however for the next year or so I would not recomend Toro Lodge as they are building and consruction seriously affects the atmosphere of camping on the banks of the Chobe. Try Kubu Lodge or others. When In Kasane You must do a sunset cruise on the Chobe River. It is the most amazing thing I have experienced in my life I think. Africa Magic that gets into your blood (and I'm African...!)

Nada como tu ciudad natal!!!

it was fun, plenty of wildelife and the people were Very friendly!!

Mochudi has a very nice (small) museum. It is also the home of Precious Ramotswe of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (check Alexander McCall Smith on the Internet).

Audi camp has cheap camping spots. nice people there.

great place, might take some getting used to be people just tend to let you do what you want but are friendly when you ask for help to get around

try the minced meat pie at the golf club
