Kasane
Thursday 23rd September, 2004We just had to visit the town of Kasane
seeing it was so near to the Chobe Safari Lodge and we were not disappointed.
What can be more normal than a warthog munching on the grass next
to the high street?
There are some delightful and promising touches to be seen everywhere, and this sign on a Police vehicle certainly is a step in the right direction. In fact it supports my contention that Botswana is one of the least corrupt countries in Africa.
Not everything works perfectly or even survives, as the ex-communication cafe can attest .....
... but the entrepreneurship is everywhere. This is a phone booth. Battery powered and manned (or rather personned) by the lady behind the table, this provides the average person an easy access to a phone. These tables are everywhere there is a small conglomeration of people.
We found a little restaurant in town, where we were as much a treat for the locals as the cuisine was for us, and all in all a good experience was had all round.
Tomorrow is our last day in Chobe and then we have the long drive back to Johannesburg with one stop on the way, but more on that tomorrow.
