Hi
We drove down today all the way from Chobe in northern Botswana to Nata in the south it was a pretty long drive and we arrived in the afternoon at Elephant Sands our campsite.
We went on a game drive after we had set our tents up, and had a quick dip in the pool to cool down - its a gorgeous site unfenced in the bush the po...
It's another hot evening and the heat chases us out of our tent by 6 AM. Breakfast isn’t even scheduled until 8. We are overheated and looking for a place to cool down. Fortunately, there is a light breeze blowing once you are away from the tents which are just too close together for any cooling effect from the wind.
It has only ...

Up at 6 the temperature today is great until about 10 am. At another place with a pool and bar. It is about 40 degrees at the moment.
Met Robin and he is all set to go. My campsite cost 55 pula ($12NZD) robins room cost 550 Pula.
Have used the tent a lot as it is far cheaper than a room and you seem ...
Nata Lodge, Nata 1st & 2nd September 2009
The drive from Kasane to Nata is on a tar road, but after reaching the veterinary fence gate just about 50km north of Nata were some of the biggest and worst potholes imaginable. This stretch of road was the worst we had encountered and needs to be driven with extreme care. All the way down we...
‚NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICOLE!!!!!!!'
‚Huh??’ could this be? We are driving through Livingstone and here someone is shouting my name….in a German sounding voice…..I turn around just in time to see Elke and Marius getting off their bus from Lusaka! Our friends had arrived to spend the next two weeks exploring Zam...
Up at 7. Oliver went walking, I ran with Sarah. Other Oasis truck cook breakfast but none left when we get back. Gutted, especially as it was bacon. Doesn't seem to be an awful lot of mingling between the trucks going on although that may change if rumors are true. Apparently there's going to be a passenger swap due to a couple on the other truc...

As our trip drew to an end we drove from Chobe to Nata...the Makgadikgadi Pans were filled with water and completely unpassable. The tour usually stays at Nata Lodge, but unfortunately it was destroyed by fire last year. Instead we pulled up at what was essentially a motel truck stop...the Northgate Lodge. Upon further inspection however, it pro...
Nata, Botswana zoe_liza
After spending two fantastic days in Harare we got a flight to Victoria Falls. It had practically been impossible to get a flight as Zimbabwean Airlines are fairly unreliable and all flights were sold out. We got told various stories by the travel agents e.g. that ZANU-PF (Mugabe's party) where having a conference in Bulawayo so all planes had ...
Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe ccinafrica
We are waking up early from all the birds that are making a big noise to welcome the new day. The drive to the salt lake before breakfast is giving us a good idea of the time when all the birds are here. The flamingos are rather far away and not as abundant as expected, but there are sufficient pelicans, ducks, etc. to make the viewing interesti...
Nata, Botswana silo
What a difference a day makes (just like in South Luangwa) - our first night here was interrupted by the various night activities of several species of animals, but last night was quiet, quiet, quiet! I have just woken (6.13) to the sounds of the insects and birds, but nothing bigger than that - in fact I didn't wake at all in the night! The moo...
