We got a call that the only road into Maun had been washed away at Sitatunga. We would either have to backtrack or go via Gaborone. I had been fishing a lot in the area and knew of a few other bridges of the beaten track. This is a pic of a bridge I call Waga Waga. The water was already flowing over the top. We drove 20km through the bush to the next bridge at Samedupi and then on through to Maun. Saved us a1000 km detour.
