Our first experience of Botswana on the 19th of February 1998 was only a very short crossing as we were on our way back to South Africa from our first trip in order to make some modifications on our Landrover and equipment.
On the way to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve
At times the going got very heavy but the Landrover ploughed through the deep ruts of red sand without problems rocking from side to side like a boat in a choppy sea.
The Kalahari was green at the time and did not at all look like a desert, and the sandy roads were still moist from the rain.
On asking which was the way to Maseru, we were told "there are many ways to Maseru". Wasn't that obvious to see from the many donkeytrails and footpaths passing through the bush!
(Maseru marked on the map was by the way a waterhole and a handful of cattle).
Since we found no camping places we spent one night beside the Trans-Kalahari Highway which was at the time already a superbly tarred road and watched with amazement as cattle and donkeys wandered seemingly unharmed across it, as huge trucks thundered past at odd intervals.

In Gobabis and Lobatse we were back amongst the crowd and we entered South Africa through Skilpadshek and decided to head for Lesotho which lay on on way back home.
