Stuck in the Kalahari with Nowhere to "go"

George was ferried by plane to an airstrip in the Kalahari Desert to transport a different plane back to Maun. However he had to wait three hours on the ground in the middle of the Kalahari for said plane. George being the forward thinking guy that he is, decided to pack some biltong and mango roll snacks.

He neglected to think of a situation where he would have to "go", presuming that the five star accommodation would have facilities at the airstrip. This situation crept up on him in the second hour and that's when he decided to make the 1km walk up and down the airstrip looking for some sort of facilities, clenching the entire way.

Needless to say, there were none. As he was walking back to one of the parked aircraft, the mango roll came to haunt him and he had to bolt into the bushes. Looking around at the acacia trees as a toilet paper alternative, he decided against it.

He emerged from the bushes, professional pilot up top and no pants party down below. He made his way down the airstrip to a parked aircraft, dangly bits flowing in the wind. Rummaging through the aircraft he managed to find a bottle of water and an oil rag.


Repanted and refreshed, George was faced with the issue of disposing of the oil rag. Disposing of it in a protected game reserve would just be irresponsible,so he tied it to the inside of the fire extinguisher shelter, to be collected another a day.

Sup man

Soooo this is a blog and not a porn site, so for all the perverts out there, it's time to make like a donkey dick aaaaaaaand hit the road, as someone from Botswana would say. My name is Pat but I go by many a name such as P dizzle (gangster name), Pat me groin (Scottish /I'm not too sure name), Patches O'hoolahan (dodgeball name), Patrice(when I'm dressed in ladies clothes name, wait , maybe that's not the best thing to put out there on the Internet) and Veej(family name). The list goes on but I won't bore you with more names and my weird dressing habits. I fly planes in the land of donkeys and cows, Botswana. Which is why I have started a blog as I'm sure there will be some memorable moments. So here's a quick story about a mate of mine. Let's call him George. George is a pilot and was doing an hour and a half flight from the Linyanti to a place called Kasane(See very detailed map below). On this flight his stomach started to give him signals that

How to camp in Botswana

Just a few notes for when camping and game viewing in Botswana: First things first, you actually need to be in Botswana and not just in a sauna with donkey noises playing in the background. Next up, is your trusty stead. It should be able to handle thick sand and water. No, not your company's work vehicle that could bottom out on sand and leave you trying to dig it out with sticks and your hands (Totally didn't happen to me in the Kasane game reserve right next to a sign that said 4x4 vehicles only). A tent or your own fold out palace with tv, wifi and a generator to power a small city is recommended. Food! 1kg of biltong per person per day (none of this sharing your snacks rubbish). Coffee and rusks - it is a well known fact that the smell of coffee attracts predators and so when you hear your alarm go off at 3 in the morning you need that extra bit of motivation to get up. Meat - Viennas for lunch, steak for dinner. Viennas can also be used to put under your fellow campers t
