The course of the Boteti is traced out with a dark green ribbon of riverine trees while, in the distance, the waters of the old lake still seem to shimmer and dance in the heat.
It is incredible to think how changeable land forms really are and how insignificant a human life span is against the immensity of geological time.
Even if you do not explore the road to the CKGR, cast your eyes west as you drive towards Maun after the Department of Wildlife and National Parks turn off.
You will look out over a billiard -table-level plain that stretches to an elongated smudge of green on the horizon.
The smudge is the Gidikwe Ridge, the old shoreline: it helps you imagine the vastness of the former lake.
