Elephant Sands near Nata is always a favourite place to chill for a night heading to or from Kasane. We like to arrive early to spend a few afternoon hours overlooking the waterhole with a bottle of wine and a plate of hot chips. Oops, my photo features a beer! It must have been Andrew's!
The elephants come and go all the time.
We had to hastily vacate our chairs when these two groups of young males got aggressive with each other.
After the hearty breakfast we hit the road to Boteti River Camp. We set up camp under the trees and spent the afternoon relaxing, swimming and cooking.
It's always fun to cross the river on the ferry and spend the day in Mkgadigadi Pans NP.
Especially driving alongside the Boteti River to Hippo Pools.
Once again we had a whole NP to ourselves; there wasn't even anyone to take our entrance fee at the gate.
It's not too far back to Planet Baobab, another fabourite of ours. This quirky lodge is built in between a grove of ancient baobabs. Tracey and Denise joined us here.
On Monday we drove into Nxai Pan NP. The roads were easier than expected for the rainy season. The place was so beautifully green and the game was pretty abundant.
We enjoyed a late jaffle lunch at Baines' Baobabs before heading back to the planet.
