Day 26 – Namibia/Botswana Safari 2015. Serowe to Pretoria via Martins Drift Border Post

Our Namibia and Botswana safari sadly comes to an end today although we will have a few days in Pretoria/Johannesburg seeing friends and family before we head off for home in Knysna.

Last night I asked Denise what was her highlight of the trip and she quite rightly said you cannot pick out one or more highlights as every day had its highlights and it was another adventure of note, full of highlights.

We get an early start and cross the Limpopo River and the border at 09h00 the Botswana side was very efficient and we were across in 15 minutes when we get to the South African side there was one official dealing with arrivals and departures, which takes us another hour.

We have breakfast at a little pad stop and go through a very busy and growing Mokopane (Potgietersrus). I remember this as a one horse town and it shows what a newish Platinum Mine can do for a town, on the downside is what happens when the mine closes.

We arrive at Michael’s house in Centurion at 15h30 thereby ending another wonderful adventure.

We trust you have all enjoyed following our trip as much as we have sharing it with you, we have around 1500 photos and so many memories and now all we have to think of is where to next?
