It was our last full day in Africa, and it began with a 6 am game drive through Chobe National Park. It was another cold experience, although not as bad as the other sunrise drives we'd done in South Africa. We saw way fewer elephants than I expected, but had some other highlights:

- 1 Lion who roared for us, and continued when he went ou...

I ran down to the falls again this morning, this time carrying the Rebel XT with 18-55 mm lens in one hand and the small Olympus in the other. I stuffed an already used rain poncho in my pocket along with a Ziploc bag and then ran the 3+ miles to the falls. It was cold enough to see my breath, and I reached the falls early enough to be the first...

Travelpod update 16th April to 24th April Left Maun on the 16th April & headed north 140km to Moremi & into South Gate where we were camping. At the Gate we met a couple we had met in the Maun Wildlife office how were having difficulties getting in. The Park's system is really bureaucratic and red tape at every turn and without a permit ...

The plan today was, visit Katima Mulimo, the last big town in Caprivi, get money, 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 Namibia...

Maun to Kasane is the longest drive we have had so far - 650 km taking 10 hours. Had to go through a foot & mouth station and have all shoes treated, then arrived early evening. Next day we were picked up in an open truck at 5.45am, wrapped up in sleeping bags, and ready to explore Chobe National Park. Highlight was watching the herds of ele...

3 days in northern Botswana plus a coupleof days in Zambia & Zimbabwue. Ventured into Zambia & Zimbabue to see Vic Falls before shooting off to Tanzania. 2 main things to see here as reflected in fotos below: Chobe National Park in Botswana - SAFARI via boat and land to see spectacular wildlife. (stayed at the really nice Chobe Safari Lo...

We booked a safari in Botswana via our hosts in Livingstone - Jolly Boys Backpackers and opted for a 2 day and one night safari for $280 each, this included 2 river safaris, and a 4X4 land safari. After crossing the border into Botswana we were picked up by our host Elephant Valley Lodge and taken to a boat for the river safari. As we cruised up...

Today we had a long day of driving in which we drove between 2 huge salt pans - the Nxai Pans and the Makgadikgadi Pans. We spotted Giraffe today for the 1st time on our trip!! (they are so beautiful!! We wanna take one home!!) Also on our drive we saw the only male Boaubab tree in the world (that Collen knew of) - You'll see why in the pictures...

Yet another morning that started with sunrise. As the jeep for the morning game drive inside Chobe National Park was to start at six it meant yet another short night (but then again we're usually all in bed by 11 anyway as doing nothing can be very exhausting...) But what better start to a day could there be than starting it by sighting a leopar...

Hi Everyone Well we crossed into Botswana about an hour ago and stopped in this town called Kasane to do some shopping, change money, etc and I thought I would take the opportunity to share my Vic Falls experience with you. As I mentioned last time we arrived on Wednesday afternoon. That evening most of the group did the Booze Cruise. I didn't g...
