Palapye to Maun, Botswana
The journey today takes us north through the dramatic landscapes of the Central Kalahari desert towards the gateway to the Okavango Delta. A number of smaller towns and villages will be passed by along the way, providing an insight into everyday life in Botswana. An imposing monument to Botswana’s mineral wealth can be seen on our route at the Orapa Diamond Mine. This mine is one of the largest diamond mines in the world and is a joint venture between De Beers and the Botswana government. Contributing greatly to Botswana’s economy and export earnings, it is one of the country’s most important economic pillars. In addition to Orapa, we shall be traversing the southern end of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park before reaching our overnight destination in Maun, so be on the lookout for various varieties of wildlife as they move between watering holes along our route.
