Well, I am not sure if I can really do these last few days justice but we will give it a shot. Up at 4.00am for a 600kM drive North to the Botswana border. A quick stop at Pontdrift and the ride of a lifetime on a rather ancient bucket and cable system across the crocodile rich Limpopo river and your in Botswana.
The pictures tell the story. Note the electric fence and razor wire forming the border between the 2 countries.
DJ seemed to smell out a much needed coffee ( NO TIM's Here) and after a 16 Km ride along an unmade road, we came across the Crocodile lady. An Oasis in the middle of the bush, right on the border were she has run a farm for 25 years right through the wars, and now raises Crocodiles. Lots and Lots of them. We were also introduced to her pet goat she rescued from the jaws of a baboon. The poor thing now has a little brain damage and a missing eye, so when you call it, it runs right past you!Oh before I forget our Jumping Shot of the trip!!
