Khumaga
We left Kwa Nokeng and headed north for the Makgadigadi pans were we set up camp at Khumaga. Khumaga is a lovely camp site on the Boteti river on the western side of the pans.
Due to the good rains in June July the once arid and dry river bed was now flowing for the first time in sixty years ,its remarkable to see the metamorphosis that takes place when the rains have fallen.

We took a drive a drive onto the pans ,saw lots of game along the way ,unfortunately all the zebra’s that we were expecting to see at the river were now on the pans, still a wonderful sight.
It was ausume to be on such a vast expanse of africa, some of our group took the opportunity to express their excitement.

Point of correction,the last time Boteti River flow was in 1994 not 60 years ago ok.I have seen that stipulated under a photograph which shows a river flowing from an ariel view.I happen to know the place because Khumaga is my birth-place.
