We arrived in Jo-Burg and had a 5 hour drive to the southern border of Botswana. We were met by one of our guides who took us across the border. However, the border consisted of crossing a river about three feet deep in a truck, which was a good start to the safari. During our stay we lived in tents. These were not your ordinary tents, they were large and spacious, with outdoor showers attached to trees and bathrooms. It got so cold at night that they would put hot water bottles in your bed to keep you warm. The camp was in the middle of nowhere, with only 8 tents plus staff quarters. The camp was surrounded by electric fence to keep the elephants out, and once it got dark everynight we were escorted from dinner by a guide with a rifle because of leopards and other predators sneaking into camp. They had a leopard in camp the week before so they were on high alert. Once we were in for the night we were not allowed under any condition to leave our tents. The food was amazing, and the staff was even better. The manager of the camp was from Zimbabwe, and had moved to Botswana when they kicked out the whites. He had fought in the 70s and 80s in the war to keep thier land. Our guides were natives who were excellent trackers. We saw leopards, elephants, lions, elon, impala, ostrich, kulu, wild dogs, etc. We would get up every morning at 6 for an early drive until about 11. Then we would have the day free until 4 when we would go on a nother drive until about 8. We had open top land cruisers that could take us anywhere. The safari was great, and we have pictures to prove it. On the fourht day we took and early drive then headed back to Jo-Burg for our flight to Dubai. The drive there and back was great, we got to see the open landscape, and would go for long periods without even seeing another car on the road.
