Out next destination was 6 hours’ drive
away and we were supposed to be there for lunch which meant that we had to
leave the camp at 0600 in the morning. A couple of people had been visiting the
camp’s bar the previous night so some of them were struggling a little more
than usual when getting up – but despite this the departure from the camp went
as scheduled.
Driving was eventless and at lunch we
arrived and set up camp.
A couple hours after arriving in the
early afternoon we went on a cruise on the Chobe River from where we saw a lot
of elephants, hippos, crocs, buffalo, monkeys, baboons plenty of birdlife, a
couple of giraffes and a single monitor lizard. Being advertised as a sunset
cruise the last minutes of the trip meant that we had a good view of the sun
setting over the plains.
Coming back to the camp we had an
amazing spaghetti bolognaise. It doesn’t sound very local, but Jaco adding a
couple of local things into it including some various spices and herbs made it
an absolutely overwhelming meal. The best part was the dessert he had conjured
up; a cheesecake with pistachios and mint.
Having the Chobe River going right past
the camp we were standing in Botswana looking across the river into Zimbabwe.
