'I love the drive from Maun into the Kalahari as the route traverses some of the fascinating aspects that make up the country that is Botswana, and the hardiness of the people that live in this arid region'.
Along with diamonds cattle and wildlife are the biggest income earners for the Botswana economy and driving into the Kalahari is a unique vista of Botswana and its workings. Passing through villages and veterinary control checkpoints the route finally ends in one of Africa's most incredible wilderness areas.
