The Nkashi Classic Game
The Nkashi Classic Game is a simple race along the Okavango river in Botswana, avoiding obstacles like hippos, crocodiles and reeds navigating through various blocked channels and finishing in the fastest time possible. On the way you will have to collect water lilies and the word Nkashi for extra points.

There’s something truly magical about Botswana’s tourism capital Maun (mau-uunn). As a town on the Thamalakane River in northern Botswana, this place is always lit and Goals AF, (in millennial’s speak) and it’s the jumping-off point for the vast inland Okavango Delta, which becomes a lush wildlife habitat during the seasonal floods.
