Day 5 Kasane to Nata

We had a relaxed start to the morning and were food shopping by 8.30 .

Afterwards we turned south passed lines of trucks waiting to cross the border into Zambia. The countryside became drier and we saw the occasional game as we rolled southwards. Elephant, zebra and impala.

Stopped in Pandamatenga for a toilet break.

In to Nata in the heat of the day but it was another 15 minutes before we reached our campground at Nata Lodge. Tents and lunch were followed by a welcome afternoon swim.

At 4.30 we were picked up in 3 jeeps and taken south to the Nata Bird of Sanctuary. Very flat terrains, no trees and eventually salt pans. There was water in the Suwa Pan and so we saw flamingos. A beautiful sunset followed to end a memorable visit.

Back to camp for dinner and talk around the empty fire site. All well.Read more
