Shashe Bridge � The epitome of serenity

It is not easy to spot homestead because most of the yards are surrounded by vegetation, especially bananas, mangoes, flowers, indigenous and exotic trees.

The panoramic view of the village is complemented by rich loamy soils that carpet the landscape, unlike rocks and stones that characterise most villages in Botswana. On the outskirts of the village is the Shashe River, which glitters peacefully in the distance.  The reeds, lining the riverbanks, like maidens out to impress a king, sway from side-to-side in the cool breeze that wafts through the area.  The effects of the heavy rains that fell about two months ago can still be seen, as the water is way past the riverbanks.  Where there is no water there is mud with animal spoors.  The whole area, a rather large expanse is still sodden. Evidence that people find this place relaxing and are drawn to the river is apparent, as there is heavy vehicular traffic to and from Shashe Bridge.
