Tsodilo Hills
To the west of the Okavango Delta area, about 33 miles (53km)
from the town of Shakawe, is a mysterious site shrouded in myth,
legend and spiritual significance for the local San people, who
have inhabited the area for 35,000 years or more. The Tsodilo Hills
are believed by the San to be the site of first Creation. The area
is festooned with thousands of rock paintings representing a
variety of scenes, some of which date back to 1,300 AD. Several
trails lead to more than 350 rock painting sites. The area is
remote, with no shops or accommodation facilities, but it is
possible to camp and draw from borehole water.

Money
The unit of currency is the Botswana Pula (BWP), which is
divided into 100 Thebe. The word 'Pula' means rain and 'Thebe'
means shield. The shield appears on the national coat of arms.
Major credit cards are widely accepted, and travellers cheques and
foreign currency are accepted at most large hotels and lodges.
There are banks and exchange bureaux in all the main towns, as well
as ATM machines. Surcharges are often high on travellers cheques,
and it is best to carry cheques in US Dollars or Pounds
Sterling.
