2015-09(E) DAY 1 - 3: JOHANNESBURG – KALAHARI - OKAVANGO DELTA (HERO4 Silver)
Departing from GREENFIRE LODGE JOHANNESBURG at 06h30, we went off to cross the Botswana border near Lobatse. On completion of Customs and Immigration formalities we passed through an area boasting significant history, then, it was out into the vast Kalahari Plains. We covered quite some distance on day one before arriving at our established overnight camp near Kang. Once we had set up tents etc. we enjoyed a short walk out into the bush. We waked early to a spectacular Kalahari sunrise, we enjoyed a sumptuous camp breakfast before continuing to the frontier town of Ghanzi. Ghanzi is home to some of the last traditional Bushmen, and it is here that we enjoyed learning about the wilderness from these fascinating people. Our experience included a bush walk. The Okavango, a massive river spilling its contents into the Kalahari sands, creating one of the world’s only true inland delta’s and a unique ecosystem that supports a huge variety of animal and plant life.

Kalahari Desert | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Kalahari Desert
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
