From Botswana’s Okavango Delta to Gaborone

From wild animals to city streets, the two day drive from the Okavango Delta east to Francistown (2nd largest city) then south to the capital of Gaborone is a contrast in landscape, habitat and roadside attractions. It’s a long drive filled with a variety of animal and plant life in swamps, grass veld on and off paved/tarred roads.
