Maun -> Nata, Botswana

-woke up in Maun and had a nice breakfast before making our way to Nata, a small town in Botswana
-we saw an elephant on the way which was really cool as well as the foot and mouth 'decontamination' procedure
-we got to Nata Lodge where we setup our tents, had lunch and chilled by the pool with $1 beers!
-the pool was very refreshing and we played some more Monopoly Deal
-we then headed out on a buggie to the salt pans which is basically a desert with dried salt/sand ground
-we saw lots of wilderbeast, flamingos (including a whole flock flying), zebra, springbok, helicopter birds and the national bird of Botswana called the bastard bird
-we learnt of the 'Ugly 5' - Wilderbeast, Warthog, Vulture, Hyena and Marabou Stork
-we saw plenty of 1000 year old trees and tried the fruit which is used to make tartare sauce
-we then enjoyed some drinks as we watched the sunset in the middle of the desert
-we returned to camp for delicious African chicken for dinner and a much needed showerRead more
