Southern Africa Week 3
After v long journeys on the truck (6-8 hours of scrabble!) we headed to Ghanzi over the Botswana border where we stayed at the coolest bushman's camp. It had scorpions and we were told to put a string trap around our tent, but they ran out of string for ...
Chobe National Park
... we are going to be seeing a lot of these other people. We spent the afternoon cruising down the Chobe river (which splits Botswana and Namibia and joins the Zambezi eventually) we saw sooooo much wildlife, I didn't take my big camera and instead opted ...
Chobe River cruise
First of the border crossings and a new country. and the river cruise at Chobe N.P. The cruise was great if a little overpopulated with boatloads of tourists, but i guess we were the same so... There was a great sunset over the river and the ...
A journey of giraffes
On our final full day in Africa, we had a full day tour of Chobe National Park in Botswana. We were driven the hour to the border, and after going through formalities on the Zambia side, got into a boat with two other people for the ride to the Botswana ...
Barb was right... Hippos.

Chobe National Park
... ...... I had a reservation in Maun and really wanted to get there today, so I went. Apparently, everyone hitchhikes in Botswana and Namibia. I was told by a girl that her friend who lives in Namibia got used to it and hitchhikes ...
Sessna Pick Up and smart combination
I bought a sessna flight from Maun to Kasane. This could insure the transportation which I failed by bus (see previous stops) and let me see the delta from above... We picked up a family of mexicans on the ...

Zambia and Botswana - Wild Africa
... off the island back to the Royal Livingstone Hotel where we had sun-downers on the shores of the Zambezi. Next comes Botswana, with little knowledge about what was in store we were to be impressed with every corner we turned. The next morning we ...
Chobe National Park
Got to Kasane in the evening and had a pretty quite night as another early start in the morning so that we could go for a game ride in Chobe National Park. Chobe was good value, we saw some male Lions finally up nice and close as well as plenty of ...
Day 5 - Mahango/Caprivi Strip
A short hop to our next lodge on the Caprivi Strip (lots of security checkpoints though; apparently the locals want to be Botswanan not Namibian, no idea why). Derek dropped us off to explore then went to park the truck at the campsite. By the time we ...
Day 6 - Chobe National Park
... because we're heading into Botswana again and not coming back to Namibia (and need visa money for the Zambian border), then cross into Botswana and head to Chobe National Park. The first problem was that, unbeknown to our guide (oddly) it turned out to be ...
A walk on the wild side!!
... ; After watching a beautiful sunset we are back at the lodge in time for another excellent buffet. There is always a "game" option such as Kudu and Impala; these have to be brought into the country as Botswana does not allow game farming. ...
Chobe National Park
Beautiful blue skies and lots of elephants. There are so many elephants in Chobe that lions have started hunting them there! We went on a jeep safari and then another sunset cruise along the river. We actually saw elephants swimming - very ...

Caprivi Strip
Left Botswana and headed back to the Caprivi Strip near Katimo Malilo where we spent next 3 nights at Kalizo on the Zambezi river near the Zambian border. Tiger fishing meant to be great here, but the water is a bit cold so we had to get over the ...
Into Botswana
... cereal and pancakes, nom nom nom. The days drive wasn't too long and we had soon reached the Zambia and Botswana border after stopping for "munchies, crunchies & drinking water" (Hendrick's favourite phrase lol). The border crossing was ...
Chobe National Park
Around 10:30 last night I woke up to the commotion of the elephant back in camp. It had come back to finish the water in the tank, and upon emptying it, grew rather cross. It scraped against the tank looking for more water, eventually poking a hole ...
Safari in Botswana
... I had some holiday time before I went back to the UK for Christmas so I found a company that ran week long trips into Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia for a week which was perfect because a week is all I could spare. I do not normally like organised tours ...

Gas stove and brake pads
The road from Savuti to Kasane was supposed to be a good one – 170km, 40 of which was tar – but after the storm in the night, the road was flooded. We bounced along from one puddle to the next, confident that on the sand road there would be ...
