We headed south from Popa Falls, down the western side of the delta.
The western side of the Okavango is remote. This is the place of
the "Mountain of the Gods"
- written about by Laurens van der Post in "The Lost World of the
Kalahari"
Botswana is generally very flat, and "Male" is the highest
hill in Botswana at 1385m.
There are numerous paintings adorning the hills, ("Male", "Female" and "Child"),


and the Rhino Trail on "Female" is the most commonly traversed.
This is not for the unfit.


Our guide on the left, and a painting of an African Penguin on the right.
We weren't sure if we could tick the bird.
I am also totally confused as to how a Bushman living in the Tsodilo
Hills
could have ever seen a penguin, unless he had walked from the Namibian
coast.
