Makgadikgadi Pans - Botswana - Here we stayed at Jack's Camp, the place where the phrase "In the Middle of Nowhere" must have originated. We visited Chapman's Baobab tree. Toured the Pans on ATV's for a sunset cocktail hour and learned some folklore.

Gchwihaba Hills - Botswana - We toured Drotsky's caves. No lights, no walkways, no guard rails. After climbing down a 12' deep shaft and further through a 25' long 30" diameter tunnel we entered a room the size of a small theatre. at least 120 degrees F and inhabited by 1000's of restless bats

Xai-Xai Village - Botswana - Here we spent 2 days with what would be as close as one can get to what the Bushman or San Peoples culture was like. We participated in some hunting and gathering and some evening song and dance rituals.

Okavango Delta - Botswana - At the Nxabega Lodge we ended our trip with mokoro trips on the Delta, being charged by a Bull Elelphant, finding the remains of a child giraffe that had been dinner for our friend at the right.

Amsterdam - After leaving Maun Botswana, we spent 1 night in Johannesburg South Africa, mostly shopping. Then it was off to Amsterdam for 3 nights. Windmills, canals, Gouda cheese, tulips, bicycles and "Coffee Houses!!!"
