Finding a Lodge in Kasane/Chobe

NB: This post merely serves to update information available on the interweb.

Looking to spend the night in Kasane? Sure, the big lodges - Chobe Marina, Chobe Safari, and Mowana - are listed online, but what about the small ones? And what about Bushtracks, the organization that will take you to the Zambian side of Vic Falls? Amazingly enough, some of these smaller operations - including Bushtracks - aren't in the 2010 BTC phone book, either. Look no further.

Gaborone-Lusaka Express

NB: This post merely serves to update information available on the interweb.

As of today, the Gaborone-Lusaka Express bus runs everyday (including Sunday). It departs at 1900hrs and arrive in Lusaka at about the same time the next day, and costs P500. Tickets are available at the office within the Gaborone Hotel compound at the Station. No need to book in advance unless travelling on a holiday.

And, yes, Gaborone-Lusaka Express gets it done.
