Dumela from Botswana

They may drive on the same side of the road as us but that is where the similarities with Britain end. The temperature, wildlife and attitude are SO different. It has been fluctuating between 35 and 40C and we have been munched alive by mozzies, but the laid back and friendly nature of everyone is pretty nice!

So we arrived into a TINY airport in Maun and met Ruth (our project coordinator). For 2 nights we stayed at a gorgeous backpackers right on the river with the first bridge in Maun close to it. We had dinner with some of Ruth's friends, one of which looked slightly like Daniel Craig!

The Old Bridge Backpackers!

We were shown around Maun and tried some traditional food called Seshwa. We also had to go food shopping for our safari and at this point our D of E skills kicked in....pasta for 4 nights in a row!
