09/07: Ghanzi (Botswana)

Posted by on July 9, 2011

Dumela (= good day in Setswana, one of the languages in Botswana)!

This morning we ate a good breakfast at the ‘Old Bridge Backpackers’ together with our new friends Nick and Aisha. After breakfast it was time to say goodbye. We had such a nice time with this couple so it was sad to say goodbye. But we will see Nick and Aisha again and visit them in Oxford in the UK and they will visit us in Belgium!

We put some petrol in the car and we left Maun. Today it was only a 3,5 hour drive to Ghanzi. On the road there were again a lot of cows, horses, sheep, goats and donkeys so we had to be careful and concentrate very well. When we drove into Ghanzi, we went immediately to Thakadu Lodge, the place here we were going to stay. We booked a luxury safari tent with a bathroom. It is very nice accommodation! After putting our stuff in this huge tent, we went to Ghanzi to do some shopping. We bought some meat (meat is very cheap in Botswana!) so we can do a nice braai tonight in front of our tent. Off course Jan is very happy that he can braai tonight :)! In the afternoon we had a drink in the bar and saw some wildlife running around in the bush.

Tomorrow we will go to Namibia, again another country!
