Kelly Phelan on the joys of bush braais, beers and Mma Ramotswe’s favourite tipple

DO the Okavango Delta, recently designated the 1,000th UNESCO World Heritage Site—from above in a hot-air balloon, or at water level, on a mokoro (canoe). Picture a Venetian gondola, only more rustic. Afterwards, glamp in a luxury tent at Jao or Nxabega camp.
DON’T leave your vehicle to look at animals along the side of the road. A close encounter with a baboon or hippo may result in an impromptu trip to the emergency room.
