Well we headed out to Tsodilo Hills and in the late afternoon after driving through bush you could see these hills seemingly appear from nowhere! Quite a stunning sight, we arrived at the main gate where we were told to drive through to the office inside the reserve. The Male Hill is directly behind the main entrance gate and what an imposing sight. The Female Hill lies to the left and seems more approachable.

We arrived to be told that we could camp in which ever campsite we preferred and there was no charge! We also were told that the office opens at 7.30am and we could get a guide to take us on a walk then. We decided to stay at Malateso Campsite which is around the Female Hill - Clint had told us it was one of the nicest sites.

A bit of deep sand, narrow roads and not so many signs later we arrived in camp. Quite a beautiful spot. We were right up against the side of the hill. We pitched camp and got a fire started. What a fabulous spot, we had a lovely meal and then went to bed early - this travelling is a tiring business.

Well must have been one of the worst nights sleep we have had! Late evening/early morning the wind started and boy did it keep going. Well the tent was flapping and billowing and generally making such a racket that sleep wasn't an option! Pretty cold too! Martin got up at one stage and tried to tie down the flapping bits - sort of worked.

Anyway I was up around 7.30am and got the coffee on - scratchy eyes with huge bags under them and all - boy did I need my coffee this morning! Martin didn't appear until about 9am and seemed to still be asleep on his feet. Didn't really want to talk or anything for about half an hour.

He suggested that we stay an extra night here, but I said that would probably mean that we would have 3 sleepless nights instead of just two! Well we finally got moving and drove back to the office around 10.30am.

Will finish later. xxx
