The end of the Namibian traverse

After three and a half weeks on the road and having covered 6250 km, we are about to leave Namibia and cross over into Botswana. We have traversed Namibia from south to north and from west to east along its major axes. Starting in the south we crossed the Orange river to commence our journey ever northward until we reached the Kunene river that demarcates Namibia's northern boundary with Angola, and hence the south to north axis had been covered. From the Kunene mouth we travelled towards the rising sun until we will cross the Chobe river at the Ngoma boarder post into Botswana, hence having completed the west to east traverse of our Namibian adventure.
While overnighting in Katima Molilo, the hippos on the opposite bank of the mighty Zambezi river taunted us  , daring us to explore the great expanse of Zambian. I guess that this call will have to be answered
As we cross into Botswana the slow homeward journey will commence, after a couple of days of relaxation and hopefully game viewing in Chobe.
