Early start as we were going on a game drive into the CHOBE NATIONAL PARK. It was so cold…and no one warned us to take a blanket or something warmer than just a jumper..so we all sat very close to each other hoping to get warmer this way. As soon as we reached the park we saw a bull elephant and then we followed lion tracks and saw a pride with 4 very tiny cubs…it was amazing but too many cars that wouldn't move so we only got a glimpse of them.We saw many ...

After bringing down our tents, having breakfast and loading the truck, we went for a bush walk with the SAN people; a Botswana tribe. They talked us about how they live in the bush and what they eat, herbal medicines, how they make a fire and how they wash squeezing water from a fruit like a turnip. We got back to the truck and drove towards Maun, the tourist capital of Botswana.We stayed at a campsite called Sitatunga.Pitched our tents once again and had some...
