From the Vasyugan swamp, I then went to the Okavango swamp in Botswana. The capital of Botswana is Gaborone and Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe border it. Sowa pan is a body of water that borders Botswana. The GPS coordinates are 46 04'15.06" S 70 02'09.30". The climate is hot and damp, and this swamp looks like a field with shallow water covering it. The history of this swamp is it used to be a delta, but over time also became a swamp. It's important because it is also an eco- system. It's about 10, 314 miles from the last swamp. To get to Botswana I flew. The flight was $1,265, the car was $468, and the hotel cost $715. I haven't really had any problems. But this destination is much different. Africa is very different from the United States, it's very hot and dry here.
