First rains in Maun
 
Just for the Botswana guys 14 mils on thursday in Maun.This is way early and we are waiting to see if more is comming.....
Still able to go from Maun to Chiefs Island by boat +-4 hours trip.Amazing trip with lots of game around.
Perfect year to make use of the off season rates.

Bots,

Thanks for the update. Not sure what 14 mils is on the conversion scale, but, do you expect the long rains to start right away?

I remember when i was at Lagoon camp last month, BK took a look at some cloud build up and predicted early rains....i guess, here it is!!!

Thanks
Hari

A bit over half an inch, Hari. A pretty good early fall.
