The Botswana border
officials were very friendly and efficient - after paying our 80Pula road tax,
we were on our way (can also be paid in SA Rands).
The highly recommended Drotsky's Cabin's
was our rendezvous for the first couple of days. Set on the banks of the
Okavango panhandle, amid lush forest vegetation - this quiet river
lodge/campsite was an absolute treat! The friendly hospitality from the
Drotsky family and their staff was exceptional - we were offered
complementary hot drinks throughout the day, free firewood delivered to
our campsite daily, superb hot shower facilities (on stilts) and wonderful
conversation at the bar in the evenings. These small touches add up to a
very good experience :-)
