Maun to Palapye, Botswana
The Central Kalahari desert is a stark yet stunning landscape in the south today. Keep an eye out for wildlife moving between the watering holes as we skirt the southern end of Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. Our route takes us past the Orapa Diamond Mine, one of Botswana’s most imposing monuments to its mineral wealth. Diamond mines in Botswana, operated jointly by De Beers and the Botswana government, are among the world’s largest. Botswana’s GDP and export earnings are largely dependent on it, which serves as a critical economic pillar. Before arriving in Papapye, you’ll pass by several smaller towns and villages, giving you an overview of everyday life in Botswana.
