Our second night was spent at Linyanti on the edge of the marsh.There were lots of hippos and elephant here, but not much else, it was peaceful!Although the Elle's did have a habit of crossing the road when ever we were driving through so there were a few traffic jams!
The Botswana authorities that run the game parks are a little odd.They take bookings in advance for the camps but no deposit so often they are booked but are actually empty.They also have reserve sites at each camp for people who just turn up but this is not advertised and if you go to the official offices they will just say they are full!So you have to politely ask at the gate and hope the guy is having a good day and will let you camp.The stupid thing is all three nights we camped the main sites were not even half full.At Ihaha there were more of us in the reserve sites than in the main ones and at Linyanti there was only one campsite being used!It seems silly that they are turning people away saying they are full and loosing money!
