Day 24: Botswana to Home
We left at 6am on our last leg home. We retraced our route back into Francistown, a very different vibe on a very early Saturday morning, the town hadn’t woken up yet and so it was an easy trip through.
We passed through towns, like Palapye and a few more vets check points before the driving the last 45km along gravel roads to the border. We passed cars and trailers loaded to the max with household equipment from SA to other African countries.
We used Parrs Halt Border Post, crossing the Limpopo, and entering on the South African side at Stockport. The whole process took around 15 minutes, nice and easy.
From there it was about 400 km on good tarred roads, with some road works to repair bridges. South Africa, compared to Namibia and Botswana was beautiful and green, especially in the Waterberg Area.
We arrived home around 4pm after a long 10 hour drive.
We had a wonderful trip but it is wonderful to come home. We missed the kids and animals, and had an excited greeting from them all, guess they missed us too.
A special thanks to Gareth for looking after the animals and taking over the training of Isaac, my guide dog in training, to free me up to travel.
