It has just been miss reported.Anyone walking around Maun from London would naturally think that every one had sleeping sickness.

The tsetse fly has once again begun to be a problem on game drives and around camp but I haven`t heard about anyone with sleeping sickness.
Orsmond aviation started arial spraying about a month ago, and from what we hear they are doing a good job, so hopefully we wont have to keep slaping ourselves silly flying from A to B.
