around Africa - Witsand

SAND DUNES,
AND A LOVELY

BOTANICAL
WALK

With 43 marked
species along a 3.2km
walk, this is an easy and
informative botanical
meander that highlights
many of the common
plants growing in the
Kalahari, especially
the grey camel thorn
tree (right): Acacia (syn.
Vachellia) haematoxylon

Witsand Nature reserve is
around 600km from Gaborone,
it has accommodation and
makes for a lovely weekend
getaway.
