I last left my blog in the DRC. Traveling back through Kenya and down to Cape Town.
AFter Zimbabwe our safari took us through Botswana.
Currency- Pula
Language-English
Our first night is spent in Chobe national park. We actually camp in Kasane, just the other side of the Zimbabwe border. A story of the camp site is that s a hippo drowned in the camp pool. I can only imagine.
THE Okavango Delta is where we head next. Passing through Maun, Botswana's second largest city.
We are taken by a big wheeled truck that can taken on driving through deep deep water.
Upon arriving at the delta. We take our gear and proceeds to the Mokoro. A boat made from a tree. A paddle like pole is used to move us in the direction of travel. I am literally making the boat sink.. These are not meant for deep water travel. The tents are set up. making sure we keep our door clsed. WE don't want any creatures sliding in. A safari walk takes us through the habitat. A couple of Elephants are fighting amongst themselves. One looks at us and we are told to run. NOt knowing that anything could be around. A lion perhaps. We are lucky.
After two nights in the delta we head back to Maun and ride a cessna for an flight over the delta.
Namibia is next.
