BACK IN AFRICA

On July 30 landed at Gaborone in Botswana with touch downs in Nairobi and Johannesburg after just over thirty eight months back home in Bangalore to take up an assignment.
That Africa is an under rated continent becomes obvious no sooner than you step out of the aircraft at destination. The air is pure and oxygen rich. The airports are clean and not over crowded. The people are friendly, greeting and treating you as humans.
Botswana is different from Zambia in many respects but the "African touch" remains the same.
My initial posting is 900 kms away from the capital at Maun where we arrived after ten hours drive on roads which are smooth as butter allowing you to touch top speed of 160 kms/hour on practically empty highways.
To experience the best of both worlds the AFRICAN EXPERIENCE is ideal.
