Have just returned from Botswana and will be filing a detailed trip
report in due course.

Areas visited:

Khama Rhino Sanctuary
Kubu Island
Baines Boababs
Audi Camp, Maun
Mankwe
Moremi - South Gate, Third Bridge and Xakanaxa
Elephant Sands
Toro Lodge
Ihaha
Savute

Most significant event of the trip was the heavy rainfall on 8/9/10
June where Botswana recorded the highest rainfall in such a short
period for the past 40 years. We were at Xakanaxa when this occured.
It took a day to get from Xakanaxa to South Gate with pools up to 60
cm deep and 20 metres long on the road. There were pools every 100
metres. A vehicle in our convoy was extensively damaged. In the Khwai
area people were stuck for up to 48 hours before being rescued. The
authorities closed the road from North Gate to Savute as a
consequence.

Roads in Moremi and Savute still have significant pools of water. The
pans are under water and I have serious doubts whether Kubu Island.
Baines etc are accessible. Driving from Gweta to Nata water can be
seen for miles and right up to the road with Mopani veld being
flooded.

Anyone visiting these areas should consult with the relevant
authorities to check conditions.

Chobe area not so badly affected and very accessible.

na ganz einfach, Sportgeraete sind doch frei
