Kay:
In the dead of night at the “Thakadu Bush Camp and Rampant Aardvark Bar” a nasty robber slashed the passenger door window of our vehicle with a machete and made off with our guide’s professional camera and laptop.
By 3a.m. as we lay blissfully sleeping, the police had 6 trackers working on the case but as the hours passed and the robber reached tarmac the trail was lost and they returned with a lens cover and said that they would now “pray to God that the items be recovered.”
This was just not good enough! Being in Botswana we headed for Ghanzi town to look for a branch of the Ladies #1 Detective Agency but being unable to find it went to the police station for 2 hours where the truck was finger printed and statements made.
It was a safari of two halves and this occurred at half time. The first half was 6 days in the Kalahari, the second half was 6 days in Khwai River area and Savuti and then there was extra time – 2 days in Chobe.
