Early start again but great viewing ….. Leopard, a large herd of Elephants around a waterhole, a herd of buffalo moving across the plain, a Cheetah hunting Impala but failing and then returning to its 4 babies …… a loud sigh from all the ladies on the truck. We crossed the border post into Swaziland without incident and arrived at our camp after dark …. The accommodation was in Rondavels (pretty cool) - As we left ours to visit Kim & Sam, there ...

First experience in the Kruger was a night drive with a local guide called Joe. We saw Hyena, Elephant, Giraffe and owls pretty quickly. Warning signs about not leaving your vehicle reminded us that we were in dangerous country, with the possibility of Big Cats ever present …… We broke down - asked us to get out and push ….. it was pitch black but we sized each other up in terms of who would be slowest back into the truck (Lion food) and push started th...

The two-day transit to Johannesburg was uneventful …we shared the trip with 3 crew members and three other people in transit - a 68 year old South Korean who had skydived in Swakopmund and bungee jumped at Vic Falls (real hard core) and a mother and daughter from Holland who were very nice. Part 2 - Kim and Sam arrive. 3/5/2018 Arrived in Johannesburg about 4ish in a hailstone storm, huge hailstones bouncing off the truck. Kim and Sam had already arriv...

A very surreal sight. The falls themselves were at high water, which meant that visibility was very poor and we got absolutely soaked …….but it was fun and even "gr...

Flew back to Maun (bigger 14 seater plane} and were reunited with the rest of the "family", had dinner and few drinks and went to bed. Next morning leisurely start at 9:00am for a 300 Km drive to Nata - Nice camp, big swimming pool so we chilled out and had an early night ready for a 5:00am start for our journey to Kissane. The next couple of days were spent in and around the Chobe National Park. Wildlife in abundance and very close … Elephants, giraffe, Hippo...
