The scenery is amazing and very African looking, with lots of acacia tortilis (mosu in Setswana) with giraffe feeding and many more including the most photographed bird, lilac breasted roller a national bird of Botswana. You will not resist from taking a picture of it, it’s the most beautiful bird in Africa. We arrive in time for lunch, we then set up camp, then siesta.
