THE JOURNEY NORTH

Let’s face facts: The first day or two of your Botswana holiday will be spent in your car. You’ll do lots and lots of driving. Plan and book your overnight stops to make them part of your holiday.

If everything goes to plan you probably won’t have to overnight in Sehithwa, but don’t dodge donkeys in the dark; rather stay here. Cement statues of wildlife can be seen all over Botswana and at Monlek they’ve turned the practice into an art form. A twin room costs P450 (R591) per night.
