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.
