My time in Botswana was quite extraordinary. Nobody can deny its exquisite beauty. Chobe River was excellent. I also made it to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, but what I learnt there was one of the most important parts of my entire holiday. The Botswana government has, for many years, been in the process of seriously abusing the Kalahari Bushmen with the end of extracting them from what it sees as a safari park and diamond mine site. But the Reserve is the Bushmen's ancestral home. And the places they are evicted to have introduced alcoholism, HIV and other ills to their communities. They are even being denied water from a watering hole by the government, whilst Wilderness Safaris has a swimming pool and bar.

My review of this resort is that any prospective visitor should consider the sort of tourist firms and governments they're supporting when going there. That lodge, on that land, is totally unjustified and contributing to a terrible human rights abuse. There's a boycott about this actually:
