Botswana revisited

We enter from the north and ends up almost directly in Chobe National Park which is probably the best ever National Park I’ve ever visited. Easy the largest elephants, and plenty of those to boot. Lots of wildlife everywhere. Some nice bush camps on the outskirts of Chobe before we finally reached Maun again. I must say I really loved the place where we camped in Maun, at Sedia Hotel.

And once again we stop at Lake Ngami, I think the water level has dropped significant since the last time we visited. Then we head on towards the Kalahari desert which is also one of the amazing places on earth. One morning after breaking camp and starting to drive, 3 lions crosses the road in front of us. I guess we were the “morning snack that got away”, we were lucky at least. Those lions could have lied hidden only meters away in the tall grass without us never knowing.

Botswana

From all the African countries I’d pass trough on this trip I think Botswana was the most “wild” of them all. When driving on the road we from time to time had to stop to let an elephant pass for example. Our first real stop was in Nxai Pan National Park. Then we proceeded to Maun where we would stay for some days. From Maun we took a flight over the Okawagna Delta before we continued north to Lake Ngami. From there we went west towards Namibia.
