Savute, Chobe National Park



The group has spent the last two nights camping on the northern bank of the Khwai River, entering Chobe National Park. The camp site is located close to the flowing Savuti Channel, meaning game are in high numbers nearby offering lots of opportunity to see new species. We have been rewarded by seeing Dwarf Mongoose, leopards on the drive and calling in the camp .On our last day here we were also able to climb one of the hills to see San Bushman wall paintings that date back hundreds of years, a special moment for all.

The highlights included some very close sightings of Secretarybirds, Zebra, Gemsbok, Steenbok , Elephants, Giraffe and 100 bird species at a very busy waterhole. Tracks of lions, Leopards and cheetah have been seen, but so far only visual has been of a wildcats, but bigger cats to come hopefully. The group has had their first taste of camping and wildlife drives. Tonight we stay in Maun, and visit a local hall to learn something of the local culture, sample some traditional food and relax prior to our last night in a hotel for some time.

Xakanaxa campsite, Moremi Game Reserve

Two nights camping in one of the best wildlife areas of Botswana, Moremi Game Reserve. This area sits on the edge of the famous Okavango Delta, and the group was lucky enough to take a day cruise around the waterways of the Delta, getting to see first hand the importance of this water resource and how the wildlife differs from the dry surrounds. Moremi is characterised by small areas of dry land rising between vast wetlands with crystal clear water channels on the edges of Mopane and Apple-Leaf woodlands. Highlights over the past few days have included a herd of 60 plus breeding Elephants of all different ages, Zebras and Hippos.
