I'm heading to South Africa in a few weeks for 8 days or so. I only actually have a day or so worth of work to do in Jo'burg and feel the urge to travel further afield. One idea was heading south to Cape Town - on the other hand since I need to be in Jo'burg, I thought I might head up north - to Gaborone and then onto the Okavango Delta. Or perhaps Namibia. Maybe just the Kruger National Park. I dont want to go further afield due to time restarints - but I feel with 5 or so spare days I reckon I can pretty comprehensively check out one particular place.
I dont know how many GB'ers have been to Sub-Saharan Africa (Obviously Mo and - shudder - maybe James) but any ideas? I am really hung up on the idea of Botswana as I am a huge fan of the 'No1 Ladies Detective Agency' books and also really want to see the Okavango. Then again Namibia has always fascinated me.
Then again I could see Lesotho and Swaziland - maybe into south Mozambique and back.
So consider this - 5 days, not wanting to fly any further than 2 hours from Jo'burg and I'm fairly adventurous. I guess I don't want to spending a fortune either.
Ideas?
