BOTSWANA Here We Come. Unforgettable journey from Nossob to Mabuasehube
The morning we had to pack up was extremely cold, so we started the day with a warm cup of coffee.
As we continued towards Mabua, taking in the never changing scenery and enjoying the freedom on the twospoor road, we can’t help but reflect back on a spectacular few days we had on the South African side of the Kgalagadi with some fantastic sightings.
A Recap of those sightings includes a fair share of leopard sightings some which made a lasting impression
Some remarkable raptors in the Auob Riverbed. If you go to the Kgalagadi for Raptors, you have to make sure to spend a lot of time in the Auob
Not a lot of lion sightings but it is still noteworthy
Fantastic next-level honey badger sightings
And one of our all-time top-of-the-list sightings was the hunting caracal.
We Stay over at Motopi Campsite 2 and then head over to Khiding Campsite 2 where we camp for four nights.

Selebi Phikwe, Botswana ???????? | A walkaround Town Centre
What is Selebi-Phikwe like?
Selebi-Phikwe is a small mining town in Central East of Botswana. The town has seen devastating economic repercussions when the Mine closed in 2006 making ~5000 people unemployed.
There is hope of life as a new company as bought some assets of the Mine and hope to resume production in the near future.
I was born and raised in this town. My family still lives here so the town and its people are dear to me.

BOTSWANA Here We Come Again | Botswana in the wet season | Part1
Proper Wet season rain
Botswana Thunderstorms
More rain
Very slow driving in the rain
Plenty of water all around
AND EXTREMELY slippery track surfaces.
This is what you get when you visit Botswana in the Wet Season.
Come and join us on our Epic Botswana adventure in December 2022
We left a nice and dry Nelspruit after we filled up with fuel, which turned out to be our highest expense for the trip.
As we left Nelspruit the clouds began to gather and not long after that, the first drops started to fall.
We kept pushing forward and had rain for most of the way to Matamba bushcamp, our first stop of the trip. (
Hidden away in the heart of the Limpopo Province, lies the beautiful Matamba Bushcamp in an area classified as Savanna Grassland. Less than 300kilometers from Johannesburg, it takes around 3 hours to get there, and from Nelspruit, it is around 450kilometers, but due to bad road conditions it is more than 5 hours drive to get there
This unique destination offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
The ablution facilities are all very well maintained and clean.
For the more adventurous there are outside showers as well, and just like the main bathroom it is also very well maintained.
As the days can become quite warm, guests can relax at the small splash pool at Tau Camp.
Guests can enjoy hiking and mountain biking on a large stretch of sandy tracks, but no driving is allowed on the farm. For bird enthusiasts, the campsite offers an opportunity to spot some of the 300 bird species found in the area. Adventurers can explore the hides and waterholes that are along the 5 trails on the farm. Us, we enjoy sitting in camp and taking in all the wildlife that can pass through the camp
After 2 days of unwinding at Matamba, it was time for us to pack up. And today we are crossing the Limpopo into Botswana
We used the Stockpoort/ParsHalt Borderpost, as it has always been very quiet when crossing. The only downside is that the road turns into gravel as you enter Botswana.
We arrived at Khama Rhino Sanctuary around midday, and got allocated one of our favorite sites, site number 8. Arriving early gave us enough time to get the camp ready and still enjoy what Khama has to offer. Also, enough time to go and check out all the other Campsites available.
The wet season brings out an abundance of game at Khama and it is highly recommended
We once again hit the road after a good night’s rain and headed toward Letlhakane. Here we top up the cruiser and all the jerry cans with fuel.
We also do our last shopping at the Teemane Mall where there is a well-stocked pick-n-pay and all the other necessities that you will need before heading further north into Botswana.
And of course a burger for the road from Nando’s.
The Botswana clouds start to gather on our way to Rakops and it is clear that a proper storm is brewing in the distance.
Within a few minutes, the roads were flooded with water
As you turn off the main road towards CKGR, the scenery immediately changes.
The roads were flooded and very slow going. It took us more than 3 hours to reach the Matswere gate.
After all the admin at the gate, we were hopeful that the roads were going to be easier to drive. But we were wrong. The pools of water became deeper and deeper. And the clay surfaces became extremely slippery.
But finally, we made it to deception valley. And arrived at Kori Campsite 3 just before sunset.

Botswana | Chobe River Cruise
The Chobe river cruise offers you the best both worlds, amazing wildlife and the promise of sunset on the river , Chobe River in Chobe National park just outside the town of Kasane.
The beautiful thing is you can get up close to large herds of animals that are abundant in the Chobe National Park. They tend to make their way to the river and onto the islands in the river to feast on the sweet grass.
Its also very popular for Photo safaris.. There is a high concentration of elephants , and herds of elephants frequently cross the Chobe River. Hippos and crocodiles like to bask in the sun next to the water. You can also see buffalo and giraffe and other plains game. It is also a Birders Paradise.
The Boat cruises depart regularly in the mornings and afternoons

Kubu Island
Kubu Island is a dry granite rock island located in the Makgadikgadi Pan area of Botswana. The island is located a few kilometers away from Orapa and Letlhakane mining towns and can be accessed through Mmatshumo in the Boteti district. The entire island is a national monument, and is considered a sacred site by the indigenous people of the area.
It is accessible by four wheel drive vehicle and has basic camping facilities. The campsite is run for the benefit of the local population.
The Makgadikgadi Pan is a large salt pan in northern Botswana, the largest salt flat complex in the world. These salt pans cover approximately 16,000 sq km and form the bed of the ancient Lake Makgadikgadi that began evaporating millennia ago.
The name Kubu means either large rock in Kalanga language or hippopotamus in Tswana. Local Khoe people call the site Ga'nnyo. Archaeological recovery in the Makgadikgadi has revealed the presence of prehistoric humans through abundant finds of stone tools; some of these tools have been dated sufficiently early to establish their origin as earlier than the era of Homo sapiens. The island contains also dry stone walling which is up to 1.25 m high and 344 circular stone cairns.
