Botswana
Day 1 – 9 th June 2019 Having spent our last evening in SA at friends in Lephalale, we used the Grobler’s Bridge / Martin’s Drift Border Post on route to Francistown. The Botswana side’s card machine was not working to pay the fees, but there was a bureau de change where we could swop rand for pula. The cost of the crossing was BWP 217 for multiple entry. It took an hour collectively to go through both sides. A pleasant surprise was bumping into our travel companions at Grobler’s Bridge. We all stopped off in Francistown to buy meat (as we could not bring any over the border), and were looking forward to getting to know each other over a braai at Woodland’s Stop Over, 15 km’s north of Francistown on the A3. A super first evening was had by all. By evening 18h00 we needed to don jackets as the chill crept in. We agreed on an early start for Kasane, where we would be staying at Senyati Safari Camp. Day 2 & 3 - 10 th and 11 th June 2019 Because
