Kabelo arrives in Gweta at the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans, finding a room at Gweta Lodge, eating seswaa at Cross Roads Restaurant, and walking the village as the dry-season sun drops. He plans a pan drive, remembers the festival that filled the lodges, and settles into his new base before the rains come.
