Friday 2 July to Sunday 4 July
Lockdown Day 463 to 465
There's no self catering accommodation in the Central Kalahari NP so we opted to do a day trip from Rakops River Lodge. The lodge has self catering chalets and campsites but it's a bit run down. They do offer meals but we were happy to braai. It's a full day of driving in and out of Central Kalahari.
We had heard from quite a few other travelers that the game viewing and predator sightings haven't been that great lately so we went to check it out for ourselves. We saw mostly springbok and oryx and a family of bat-eared foxes. This helped us decide to skip Tau Pan Lodge and rather head back up to the Okavango. Back to Maun for a quick stop at Woolies and Beef Boys and on to Audi Lodge this time and a Sunday
rest day.
The en-suite safari tents are spacious and well appointed, the outdoor lounge and pool area is very comfy and the WiFi is fast. In Tent A1 you can pick up the WiFi but the downside is the noisy party crowd is quite close by. Luckily on Saturday night their Klippies and Coke ran out before I was ready for bed. It's Sunday night and it's so quiet. That's what happens when you drink all your holiday booze on the first night in the middle of a lockdown with a ban on alcohol sales! We had a chilled day and I got to update the blog.
We cooked a delicious massaman curry and roti on the fire.
We are enjoying our wine while we still have a few bottles stashed in the cruiser.
Despite our sadness and anxiety due to the impact of Covid on so many friends and family and in so many ways, we are well and content.
