BotswanaFrom Popa Falls we drove to Kasane in Botswana (easy border crossing) after another nearly full day of driving. There had been a minor fuel leak in one of the tanks that was getting worse (our mileage went from ~10km/liter to ~6.5) so we had to make a stop at a repair shop when we arrived in town. The shop that our rental operator had told us to go to appeared to be an empty warehouse. After a fewRead more

We arrived at lunch time, we set up our tents and then had lunch. The others were picked up my a truck to go on a river safari while a few of us remained at camp for the day.
It was a much needed rest day, I helped Duncan peel potatoes for dinner then had a shower. The showers were clean and the water was hot so I really can't complain!
BotswanaDit is tyd om te groet. Vandag ry meeste van ons toerlede terug in die rigting van die huis - Suid-Afrika - oor Francistown en Palapye. Enkeles ry Namibië om, met nog avontuur wat wag.

BotswanaDis 'n dag vol verrassings: ons sien 'n jagluiperd sommer langs die B8-teerpad 'n ent oos van Divundu, en wanneer ons laatmiddag deur die Chobe- nasionale park ry in rigting Kasane, lê vyfstuks leeu doodluiters vir ons en wag langs die teerpad. Tussenin stop ons vir middagete by die vriendelike mense van Caprivi Houseboat Safari Lodge naby Katima Mulilo, waar die Zambesirivier damvol lê - dieRead more

Hi Christy and John I'm loving all your travel stories esp after meeting you in Moremi. We are safely home in very cold Cape Town but am reliving everything through your blog. Enjoy it all. Denise
What do you do with the Land Rover and all your gear when you stay in a guest house in town? Did you leave it locked up in the repair shop or is it safe to leave on the street?
Finally caught up on all your fantastic travels, so jealous!!! I wouldn't be brave enough to do this but I am living vicariously through you both. Keep it coming I am loving it.
