Most drivers respect speed limits and we have seen quite a few police with radars. Trucks have their maximum allowed speed on the back of the truck – either 80km per hour or 100km per hour, depending on the size of the vehicle … and they stick to it! It gets a bit chaotic in towns and cities when you add pedestrians, traffic lights and increased traffic, but it generally flows, albeit slowly. xxx

It took us a couple of days to remember how we did things, the order we did them in, where we put things, what worked well and what didn’t … but I think we’ve got it now.

I recall on our honeymoon spending 8-10 hours driving 100 kms over the rough, sandy tracks through Chobe. If you’re really interested any of the wildlife guidebooks should have foot print and scat photos to help you identify them. Enjoy!

As you know, I am a AMS fan too so it makes your insights all the more interesting. Loved your campsite. We had a great few days camping at Deep Creek last week, but nothing like yours! Thanks for sharing. You are wonderful. Love, Anne

The amount of poaching that goes on is appalling . Rhinoceros horns are worth more than gold. Being animal lovers we find this very upsetting. By the way do you carry a gun? xx

The camping ground looks rustic and inviting .
Are you happy with the sedan ,and are the roads full of potholes ?
They should conduct ‘ Detective Agency ‘ tours in Gaborone , like The Seinfeld
ones they have in NY !
Love and thanks to you both . I hope you see more wild animals soon , at a distance , of course !
Hugs Mma Sal xxoo
