and it shouldn't be too hard to find a shady corner, although the sites are close together
and dusty rather than green. The camp is the closest to the main trail trailhead.
Getting There & Away
CAR
Although numerous routes connect the Sehithwa -Shakawe road with the Tsodilo Hills,
the good gravel track is the only one worth recommending. It's well signposted off the
main road just south of Nxamasere village, and around 35km from the main road to the
entrance to the site.
MOBILE SAFARIS
Although it might be possible to arrange a mobile safari to the Tsodilo Hills through one
of the operators in Maun, you'll need a group to avoid skyrocketing costs.
BORDER CROSSING: NAMIBIA
The
Buitepost-Mamuno Gate
(7am to midnight) is convenient for travelling between Windhoek and Gaborone,
the Kalahari or Maun. Like most such crossings, it is for the most part hassle-free, but remember when calculating
the border post's opening hours that Namibia is one hour behind Botswana from late May until the end of August.
As always, coming into Botswana your car will be searched for fresh meat, fresh fruit and dairy products (these
will be confiscated if found), and you may be required to walk through a soda solution (and drive your car
through the same) as part of measures to protect the country from foot-and-mouth disease.
