Today we left Kasane to head to Livingstone and Victoria Falls. The highlight today was by far the border crossing from Botswana to Zambia. This was more like the dodgy experience we were expecting in Africa. When we arrived at the edge of the river at Botswana we cleared customs and made our way down a dirt track to the river. Here we were faced with a car ferry (debatable!) that had broken down. Meanwhile, on the Zambia side even though the border had open...

Game day again!! Up at 5am to be ready for a 3hour game drive in Chobe National Park. The park covers 10,590 sq km of land and is home to great numbers of hippos, buffalo, elephants and other smaller animals. We all jumped in our open 4WD (very stereotypical of Africa!) trawled the park for animals. As we approached the wetlands we came across some hippos play fighting in the water. They look relatively harmless until they open their mouths! From there we co...

Today we transited from Katima Mulilo to Kasane, so back into Botswana and another stamp in the passport! We only had to travel about 150km. Just before we reached Kasane, we entered into the Chobe National Park and it didn't take long before we encountered an elephant crossing the road in front of the truck, and water buffalo. Jarrod also had a scary incident with a dung beetle. Hurtling towards him at a rate of knots, he didn't have time to duck as it ploug...

Today we left the houseboat via speedboat back to Sepupa and met up again with our truck and driver, Dingie. From here we crossed the border back into Namibia and travelled along the Caprivi Strip. We were basically in transit today but did travel through the Bwabwata National Park and still remained on the lookout for wildlife. It didn't take long and we almost ran into an elephant. He moved just off the side of the road and looked back at us long enough to g...

Today we left the luxury of the bungalows to head into the Delta. We met up with the truck before transiting across into Botswana (another stamp in the passport!) we stopped for lunch at Sepupa Swamp Stop (nothing to write home about!) packed a bag to last us 3 days in the Delta and got on a speed boat. We traveled about an hour or so on the river to reach our campsite, Mbiroba. Along the way seeing huge crocodiles of about 4m lurking on the banks. Before we l...
