A Delivery on the Khwai River

We were in a small safari boat on the Khwai River in Botswana. We’d just finished some up-close sightings of hippos and elephants when a boat came speeding straight for us. What was up? Was something important happening at camp? Was there a rare animal sighting on a different part of the river? We were about to find out. We had arrived at our camp, Xakanaxa, using a six-seater plane the day…

African safari journal – one year ago – a travel day

June 15, 2019 – Yesterday was a travel day. We had an 11:25 am charter flight from the LLT airstrip [Note from 2020: That’s the Leroo La Tau safari camp, where we stayed for a few days], and could have jammed in a short game drive, packing and breakfast before then, but it would have been too stressful. Instead we decided to sleep in, which turned out to be 6:30 am for Julie and 6:55 am for me. We were done sleeping. Noteworthy because at home we can sleep hours later if we don’t have to get up. We packed, had breakfast and killed about two hours reading and such before we left for the airstrip at 10:40 am.

The resort staff, who adore Julie, packed us bag lunches, which was lovely but more to carry, so we had mixed feelings about that.

A guide named Bones, who provided star lessons two evenings earlier, was our driver and with many heartfelt farewells to the staff, we set off for the airstrip. After three days together it felt as if we were leaving friends, as we had before at Camp Xakanaxa.

We drove along unpaved roads. The Toyota moved slowly and fishtailed on fine white sand like beach sand that buried the road. A few times Bones stopped to shift gears to get us out of a particularly deep sand drift. A couple of times he hopped out of the car to inspect the wheels and undercarriage. We slowed down once to avoid goats in the road, and another time to avoid cows. We arrived at the LLT airstrip, with its only building a structure that looked like a Little League dugout, along with fire protection equipment. The airstrip was just a long narrow rectangle of flat packed dirt a thousand or so feet long. We had been told earlier that sometimes flights were delayed because animals wandered out on the runway, and sometimes elephants dragged brush on the runway, which had to be cleared for takeoff and landing. But none of those things were problems yesterday; our plane was waiting for us, a four-seat prop job with the pilot standing beside it. The pilot was named Myello; he had joined us for breakfast earlier. We climbed in the plane and he warned us that the plane was light and the skies were windy, so we might be blown around a bit. That concerned me; I don’t do well with vertigo; my brain shuts down in panic mode. Myello taxied us to the far end of the runway. He consulted a computer printout folded in his hand. We were sitting immediately behind him in the snug little plane, closer than the backseat passengers to the driver of a car. He held his hand behind him to show me a line of text demarcated with his thumb; I saw Julie’s surname, Brown, with letters and numbers in a row. I looked at it blankly. He gave me a querying look. We couldn’t speak because the engine noise was too loud, and he was wearing a headset. The line of text was clearly an important question, but I had no idea what it was. I smiled and nodded and gave him the thumbs up. He appeared satisfied. He reached the end of the runway, turned the plane around, paused and gunned the engine. The plane lunged forward and we lunged into the air. [Note from 2020: I wonder if bush pilots do that pause-and-then-floor-the-accelerator for dramatic effect?]

The warning about rough skies proved overstated. Our half hour flight was relatively smooth and comfortable. I looked out the window and photographed the desert. The desert gave way to our destination, the city of Moun, which is more of a town of a few tens of thousands of people. I could see houses below us like ordinary suburban subdivisions, but with apparently unpaved roads.

(Click the photos for a bigger view)

Moun has a proper, but very small, airport, with a tower and many commercial planes lined up and a terminal where we were met by a porter and representative of our travel company, who together helped us get our bags checked and get us through customs. The porter disappeared before I could tip him. I didn’t tip the travel company representative, although now I think maybe I should have. [Note from 2020: Tipping was a mystery in Africa. I just gave money to people at random.] The terminal has a bare-bones but comfortable cafe, where we had $5 water bottles, attempted to get on the WiFi, and waited for our flight at a gate that looked more like a bus terminal than an airport, crowded with what seemed to be backpackers, safari travelers like us in khaki and olive green, businesspeople – a couple of them tapping on laptops – and just regular people taking a flight.

Our flight to Johannesburg was a regular commercial flight, same as any intercity hop in the US. Again, our travel agent arranged to have a porter meet us at the gate, who escorted us and helped us with our bags through customs and deposited us at the CityLodge hotel, located inside the airport, where we spent our first night in Africa 11 days ago. By now we felt like Africa veterans, light years beyond the greenhorns we’d been when we arrived. We’d faced down lions and hippos and elephants and the aggressive porters who hang around the airline check-in desks (completely different than the lovely porters who’d met us at the gate when we landed – we’d have another encounter with the check-in variety of predator the next day).

I had been looking forward to returning to the airport hotel, to enjoy a restaurant meal, sleep in a climate controlled room, and use reliable WiFi. But the room was too warm, the food was mediocre at best and the service was slow, and once I’d spent 15 minutes on the Internet I was done with that, though I did leave my iPhone and iPad connected to back up photos to iCloud and Flickr.

We discovered we were able to check luggage at CityLodge until we returned for our final night in Africa before going home in 10 days. For some reason the desk clerk on our first night 10 days ago told us we couldn’t do that. Huh? Julie insisted we buy a cheap duffle at the airport shops for that purpose, and we did. I filled it in part with unnecessary electronics, including a power brick, several electrical adapters that are lightweight but relatively bulky, and a noise canceling headset, also lightweight but bulky and unnecessary until my flight home. Julie checked clothes and a travel pillow and backrest for the flight home. I estimate we cut our travel weight by about 25% and I am delighted by that.

And now we’re on a commercial flight to Windhoek in Namibia, eager to get back to the bush and resume our holiday.

=-=-=-

Anton, our driver, takes us through Windhoek. He says it’s a city of about a half-million people, only 29 years old, built because it’s a crossroads between other Namibia cities. It’s the nation’s capital, and also seems to be an industrial town. Seems relatively quiet for midday. [Note from 2020: Wikipedia says Windhoek was founded in 1840, abandoned, and then founded again in 1890. I remember it felt more like a large town than a city of a half-million.]

=-=-=-

We were taken on a long, 3.5-hour drive from Windhoek to the Afrikats lodge, which was our next destination. The highway is rural between towns, mostly devoid of human construction, flat and well paved and maintained, two lanes in each direction narrowing to one each way. In towns we see construction, a sign of affluence, alongside poverty, people living in shanty villages. We see warthogs and baboons on the side of the road. Once or twice we pass big clusters of shacks and some tents forming bazaars of traditional crafts.

We drive through mountains. In other places the desert is flat enough to see to the horizon.

It is a long drive, much of which we sit in silence.

[Note from 2020: It was a looooooong drive, in an air-conditioned modern minivan, more comfortable than but not as interesting as the Toyota safari vehicles. Later, when we returned to the US, we asked our travel agent WTF she booked us for a drive rather than a short flight – Afrikats has an airstrip a few minutes away. She said the flight would have cost literally thousands of dollars US. So, yeah, the drive was a good idea.

[Also: I was puzzled during the drive by the juxtaposition of prosperity and poverty – new city construction immediately adjacent to squatter camps. A few days later, one of our guides told us the squatter camps were populated with people who were coming to work on the construction.]

=-=-=-

We stopped at a Shell rest area to stretch our legs and wash up. All variety of people there, very busy. We saw several stout middle aged women wearing traditional clothing, flowing print dresses with two-part hats representing animal horns. A skinny man approached Julie to try to sell wooden beads bigger than golf balls. She has difficulty brushing him off.

[Note from 2020: The dresses are traditional women’s clothes for the Herero, a Bantu ethnic tribe of about 250,000 people. The dress is based on colonial German women’s dresses. Photos and more information on Wikipedia: <en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here…>]

Traveller Stories: Botswana and the Majestic Okavango Delta

Crossing into Botswana from Namibia at the Mahembo border post on the Okavango panhandle was easy enough (the border official girl even sang us a welcoming song!), but from there on things got slightly more difficult. After staying the first night at Drotskies Camp near Shakawe (which was quite acceptable and easy to get into), we subsequently found that due to the seasonal flooding occurring all down the Okavango that all the other camps southwards such as Sepopa Swamp and Ghoma were flooded and inaccessible. We drove down to water’s edge (sometimes 5 – 10kms down a track off the main road) to find deep water blocking the road. Most travellers book a car with Botswana car hire when exploring the Botswana continent.

The lodges were often taking guests and their gear across in boats and dugout makoros, but that didn’t help us much with or rooftop tent on top of Tin Can. A New Zealand guy in a huge 4×4 Mercedes truck managed to churn through at Ghoma, but we weren’t trying Tin Can in water up to the headlights!

So we spent two nights camping at Tsodilo Hills which is the site of 3,000-year-old San Bushmen rock paintings and has a local Community run campsite which is pretty good and very cheap (free if you have paid a guide P100 (USD$12) to take you on the 5km walk to see the rock art). Tsodilo Hills is well worth a visit – and the 35km dirt road to get there is reasonable, if dusty.

After Tsodilo and attempting to make it to flooded river camps, we just made a beeline for Maun 250km to the south-west and arrived at Audi Camp late in the day, but fortunately, with just enough time to drop in at the local LandRover dealer, Lesedi Motors, and book Tin Can in for a much-needed service the next morning. Audi Camp is not bad and has a nice pool and a restaurant at which we had a first restaurant meal in weeks that night, but we found Audi a bit dusty and over popular with the big overland tour groups. We spent 4 days in Maun and after 2 days at Audi Camp moved to Senia Hotel Camp down the road which we preferred as it was half the price of Audi Camp, still had a pool, restaurant and river frontage, but was much quieter and less dusty.

The (complete lack of any) visible modern equipment at Maun LandRover coupled with the enthusiasm of the Batswana mechanics with spanners in hand was somewhat disconcerting – and I was a little glad that it was only a minor service and that nothing major was to be fixed as Tin can have been performing flawlessly. At least the right (synthetic 5w-30) oil went in (I made sure of that) and they did a fine job greasing everything and blowing out filters etc and replacing some slightly loose rear shock absorber mounts. So should be good- and here’s hoping as the first 700 km from Maun through Moremi, Savuti and Chobe NP was soft sand, corrugations and water most of the way. The 4X4 light on the dash will probably burn out soon as it’s almost constantly on! They often say in the motor advertising blurbs in Australia “made for Australian conditions”, but I tell you what- Africa is harder on a vehicle! Particularly the suspension takes a hammering and dust is in everything.

We found out in Maun that you have had to book ahead for campsites in the Moremi, Savuti and Chobe National Parks. You can’t just go and camp without booking as we are used to. (to control numbers apparently). It is MUCH more expensive than anything we have encountered so far as each day to camp in the National Parks costs USD$50 per person plus $50 for the vehicle. (Whereas in Sth Africa and Namibia we were used to USD$25 – $30 per day all up). In fact, we have found Botswana far and away from the most expensive country we have encountered so far. They know how to milk many foreign visitors. Much is geared towards the luxury lodges and the fly in, fly out tourists. There are a huge number of tour operations in Maun.

It’s not a one-stop system. We found you have to book your campsite in the National Parks first (at a number of quasi-private concerns like Xakanaxa, Savuti and Ihaha camps) and then go back to the Wildlife & National Parks Office and pay for a permit. They won’t give you one without proof of booking first. Nothing is too user-friendly at the National Parks office where we fronted first off. If it wasn’t for a white tour guide also at the counter and listening to us asking for direction and getting blank faces, we would probably still be there? The guy was great and took us around Maun to various booking offices.

So with permits in hand, and after 4 days mooching around Maun not doing much other than taking a scenic flight across the Delta – which was well worth the USD$250 splash out, we set off North for Moremi (Xakanaxa), Savuti and Chobe NPs.

The Okavango Delta and Botswana’s national parks are what one would expect after all that has been written so I won’t say much more other than the wildlife was plentiful and the sunsets over the swamps impressive. We liked Ihaha Camp GPS S 17* 50” 383’ E 24* 52” 587’ in northern Chobe best with its views of the Chobe River but Moremi and Savuti were good as well. What probably made them all was the wild campsites where elephants roam past your tent at night like huge grey ghosts in the gloom. All you tend to see is their white tusks in the dark moving silently as you cannot see the rest. Amazing how quietly they can move? At night we lay in bed listening to lions roar in the distance and hippos grunt in the river at Xakanaxa.

The 850 km from Maun to Kasane is no easy matter. A mixture of soft and most of the way together with bad corrugations near Savuti and the odd log bridge and water crossing in Moremi. Pleased to say that we came through unscathed and even had to render assistance to a German couple in a Toyota Hilux (whose diesel engine had just stopped – I think due to injector trouble) just out of Ihaha by way of Tin Can tow the Toyota 30 km through sand to Kasane. Another Toyota has sheared off all its wheel studs the day before we heard together with a Kia breaking a half shaft so we were quite proud of Tin Can and Land Rover!

Supplies also had to last a week and after running out of bread we decided to try and buy some in a village we passed. Quite an experience! It involved first chatting to the local AIDS counsellor (a lovely girl who we met in the general store who spoke good English and told us there was a woman who baked bread the other side of the village). Then Marianne had to stay chatting with her while I took a local guy with me to show me where the bakery was. Bread still in the oven but should be ready in 30 minutes. Back to where Marianne was waiting. Cost me a beer to the guide. Back to the bakery where the local kids set out stools to sit on while we waited. Cost us pencils, rusks and the odd apple to the kids. 1 hour later the bread was ready and hot. Only Pula 6 but all I had was a P20. Keep the change as they had none to give. Still, it was good bread!

Last night in Botswana after dropping off the Germans Hans and Elisabeth at a repair shop was spent at Chobe Safari Lodge Kasane – which is uber-luxurious (although we camped for only P150 (USD $22) and is full of foreign tourists flying in from Victoria Falls. (It even has Wi-Fi where this is being typed, but alas, not free)! The sunsets across the Chobe River from the front of the lodge are the stuff of travel brochures. Botswana has been good, but more expensive than SA and Namibia and the deep sand roads are tough. Tomorrow we cross into Zimbabwe at Kazangula and head to the “smoke that thunders” (Victoria Falls)…

Planning Your Next Beach and Bush Safari in Botswana

Why Visit Botswana?

Botswana is completely landlocked, with no beaches or access to the sea. It doesn’t even have very many rivers or permanent water sources, but in the Okavango Delta it has what must be the most spectacular, and certainly the wildest, inland delta in the world. Each year, roughly 11 trillion litres of water flow south from the Angolan highlands, bringing life and sustenance to thousands of species of plants and animals, before evaporating, subsiding, then beginning all over again. There may be no beaches in Botswana, but the Okavango Delta is a more than adequate substitute, and in some places, if there are no crocodiles around, you can even take a swim.

The Majestic Okavango Delta

The Okavango never drains completely and the best way to experience the delta is by boat. The most traditional choice are the mekoro – small, dugout canoes which can be hired for short excursions or multi-day trips. They’re a wonderful, peaceful way to explore the narrow, twisting waterways, poled silently along by local, knowledgeable guides who are usually only too happy to share their beautiful home with visitors. Short outings can be arranged from Xakanaxa Camp and the Mboma Boat Station in Moremi Game Reserve. They don’t need to be booked in advance. Longer trips are best organised through one of the operators in Maun.

Xomae Group, who operate Moremi’s Third Bridge Camp, also offer boat hire and overnight boat trips into the heart of the delta. Their wild campsite on Gcodikwe 1 island is one of the best ways to experience the Okavango on a budget. There are plenty of very high-end lodges out in the middle of the delta, but Gcodikwe 1 is one of the very few islands available to self-drivers who want to camp wild. You’ll need to take absolutely everything with you – including enough to feed your guide. There are few more wonderful experiences to be had in Botswana than sitting around your own private delta campfire as hippos grumble and splash on your doorstep and lions roar in the pitch-black night.

While mekoro is slow and peaceful, there’s nothing quite like zipping through the narrow delta waterways on an agile aluminium speedboat. These shallow-draft swamp boats are the modern workhorses of the Okavango, used as taxis, for resupply, fishing and sightseeing. They’re the fastest way to get out into the deeper channels and are ideal for birding trips and sunset cruises. It’s one of these boats that will take you to Gcodikwe 1, giving you the chance to explore the small channels and swimming spots on the way.

In the north-west panhandle, the delta narrows into a twisting network of wider, deeper channels. The panhandle is popular for fishing and dotted with tranquil riverside campsites and luxury lodges. Makoro and speedboat excursions are also available here, and the deeper water allows for bigger vessels including live-aboard houseboats – a fantastic way to experience the delta!

Getting around in Botswana

Most travellers planning a beach and bush safari in Botswana opt for booking a 4x4 rental with Drive South Africa. There is, of course, guided self-drive tours available of safari that you may book, but having your own vehicle is a more convenient option.
