Quiet Days in the Bush near Gaborone
Not all of Botswana is a fly-in safari. Close to Gaborone, in the Sentlhane Conservation Area, you can have the bush quietly and simply, as a home rather than a lodge.
I stay at The Kleynhans Home, a low-impact home-stay in the nature, and keep it slow: walks, birds, big skies and rest.
