AN ADVENTURE IN TIME TRAVEL
• Sekoma pan - typical of the Kalahari. Mike tells how the area was first explored, the pans being critical in enabling people to cross the thirst-land.
• The red Kalahari dunes are surely the reddest in the world. Mike explains how the cattle have turned a thirst-land into what could be mistaken for a desert. Evidence of this can be seen by studying a tree and its roots.
• In a truly biblical scene, cattle, sheep and goats move off the dunes and water themselves at the only waterhole in a hundred square miles.
• The natural spring at Mosu on the edge of the Makgadikgadi basin. Evidence of elephant hangs from the palm trees.
• Unmistakable evidence that a giant lake once covered most of Botswana is found at the ancient shoreline of the vast Makgadikgadi Salt Pans.
• South of Sowa Pan, the largest flat area in the world, is a 400ft escarpment, where signs of ancient habitation can still be found lying on the ground.
• Kubu Island lies on the western edge of Sowa Pan. Mike explains the curious rock wall: “Some like to call it the Lost City. It is neither a city nor is it lost. But it is a fascinating structure”.
• Final day of the expedition, the two-vehicle convoy travels across a section of Sowa to a rarely visited island - the most beautiful island imaginable.
