Xontae Xhao of Tsodilo has something to teach the French guides

Our Botswana team of five engaged a lot with the hosts, comprising, as we did, the director who doubles as a museum exhibition designer, a guide based at the Gcwihaba Caves, a geologist, a landscape archaeologist as well as a Motswana palaeontology doctoral student.

The surprise checking of the team by the Botswana Ambassador to France and UNESCO, Mustaq Moorad gave the tour a diplomatic twik and a blessing. We could not ask for more acclaimed but kind hosts than the duo of Toulouse University Professor Laurent Bruxelles and Toulouse Museum director Francis Duranthon.
