Day 101- Divendu 12/1/13

Joined by a family of scampering mongoose for breakfast (but not trying to take our food). Then it was time to leave Botswana as the only road to our next destination in this country is actually through Namibia, so crossed the border near "four countries point" where all of our luggage was searched, although not in really great detail. Reason is that they are trying to catch poachers (particularly for rhino horn - the numbers being killed are quite horrific). However, difficult to see how they can be successful in combatting the trade since, when they opened up a 40' trailer, it was stuffed with several trillion boxes - how do you check every one? Then drove along the Namibian pan handle. We were back to mainly straw hut houses, but again the first supermarket we visited was very modern in layout and contents.

Drove through the Mahango / Bwawabta (?) game park where we added kudo, and sable and roan antelope to our list

Camped for the night on the bank of the Okavango river, the third longest in Africa.
