Another long drive today took us to the Botswana South Africa Border and to be honest I wouldn’t have written about this but for 2 reasons. 1) Fulham 3 Manchester United 0 – watched through the glory of Botswana TV. 2) The Lightning Storm at 1am - which meant Megan, had to stay in the tent to keep it from blowing away and yours truly was running around in his boxers trying to stop Danny’s tent flying away. Also stopping our tent from drowning in a lake of...

So it was off from Livingstone back to Botswana. I have to say that the Angel pool at the top of Victoria Falls is a must - absolutely brilliant. Jumping 10 ft into a pool at the edge of the world’s largest falls. Crazy hey :-) Anyhow the trip to Elephant Sands came with a new group - all quite nice. Another game drive was actually into the wild bush where no tourists go. As the name suggests there were lots of Elephants and lots of sand. Megan has developed...

Hello to you all. So we hit the Chobe National Park after the Delta and stayed in a lovely camp on the border between Zambia and Botswana (right nest to a hippo river). Dan was very happy as it had a pool - I swear he was a fish in a previous life... Anyhow we had a 5am (yes 5am again!) game drive into the Chobe. After Etosha we were very excited to see more wildlife and it really didn’t disappoint. Before we even got the entrance we encounter a pack of Hyen...

So we have arrived back from the Delta safe and sound and it was a bit 50/50 to be honest - if we have to be totally honest it wasn't our favorite place, and think it's a bit overrated! After a 3 hour bus ride, a 2 hour polling boat ride in hollowed out sausage trees - the highlight of the 2 days. Very very tranquil, a kind of healing feeling while being well polled to an island in the middle of nowhere. The reads either side would give the impression of a huge...

So it was onto Maun the gateway to the Okavango Delta - we arrived mid afternoon and the camp was really nice - ran by a couple of Kiwis. Pool and bar was definitely appreciated. But disaster hit around 5pm where a flash flood hit the camp while we were at a briefing and lightning hit a mere 5 metres from our camp. I have never seen Falk lightning hit before it was breathtaking and kind of scary. Our tents were before we could get to them around 3 inches under ...
