Nothing prepares you for the sheer, unencumbered audacity of the mosquitos on the Magadigadi Salt Pans. The little bloodsuckers lie silent, hidden, watching .... Until your innocent butt makes the mistake of going a bit too close to a grass patch.... Then all hell breaks loose! Like something out of a Hitchcock movie, they manifest in a single-minded cloud, attacking relentlessly. All you can do is run, try to escape the mob. Because bug repellent is no deterrent for their unholy hunger. If you ever find yourself on the 🇧🇼 Salt Pans just after the rainy season, heed this warning; stay away from the grass patches - the lair of the mosquito hoard!
Still loved every minute though 👍
