• Day 27 Tuesday 5 May Kazikini

    May 5 in Botswana ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

    We were awoken at 5.30 by the water bearer. Dressed and coffee by 6.00.

    With Mpho driving we headed north on a road to Moremi. Bumped around in the mopani forest before turning off to the west.

    Mopani gave way to open grasslands. Came across a pair of steenbok followed by a giraffe family of 6, with a real baby. Further on were herds of zebras. Also watched an elephant and a lilac-crested roller.

    Came back to camp at Kazikini for a late breakfast. Isaac, the chief guide, brought out a map and Viv added her two. A good discussion about the geography of the area followed with everyone asking questions. A very worthwhile session.

    Laundry and relaxed.

    After we went exploring again. Although Mpho worked hard we found very little. Giraffe,,ebra and elephants in the distance. At dusk we met up with the other truck and had a 'last night' sundowner.

    Back to camp for a shower, drink around the campfire, another good .meal prepared by Kevin, and finally bed.
