Experts will lecture on caves in Botswana
Two large scale surveys for buried caverns in the remote north-west of Botswana will be the subject of a public lecture at the Origins Centre, Wits University this month. Speakers Gavin Selfe and Roger Ellis will discuss the exploration, which involves the Drotsky's (Gcwihaba) and Koanaka cave areas. The talk is co-hosted by the Geological Society of South Africa (GSSA).
The cave project, at the behest of the Botswana government, aims to develop a new national park in the remote north of the country in which the caves will play a major role. Currently known as the Gcwihaba Caves Project, the park has been cited for World Heritage status and is intended to add to Botswana's diverse list of tourist attractions.
The method by which the new caves have been located, accessed and explored is what makes the project so unique. By applying scientific, engineering and caving skills, the mystery of Botswana's underground heritage is now being revealed, and the presenters will take audience members on a journey of adventure and discovery deep within the Kalahari.
The lecture will take place on Tuesday, 17 April at 18:00 and bookings can be made at az.gro.snigiro@ksa.
