Botswana: Chobe to Kasani.

        Thursday 26th February: Savuti to Kasane, Botswana.

 

Didn’t get up until 8am, John still feeling nauseous. We packed everything away, had a cup of black tea and got on our way by about 10am. I drove again today as it would be unfair to expect John to concentrate on that. Andy & Ilona decided to accompany us to Kasane. He was worried about some deep flooding along the way and again, there was safety in numbers. As it turned out, there was only deep sand, very deep in places and we made it to Kasane by about 5pm. The road was still terrible though and very slow going. We got to see lots of elephants on this journey, as well as Giraffe. 

So many elephants

So many Giraffe

A very curious Giraffe

One of these dips every few hundred metres.

In Kasane we checked out a few hotels and finished up staying at the Mowana safari Lodge, on the banks of the Chobe river. It is a 4 star hotel, very luxurious and very welcome after our few days in the bush. 

Dinner at Mowane Hotel

Lobby of hotel with huge tree growing in the middle of it.

Might be a while before we see 4* again.

We all met up for drinks and dinner and all of us glad to be able to get to bed by 11pm. Pure luxury, ensuite bathroom and no prowling animals. There was also a mosquito net, so no worrying about any buzzing in the ear in the middle of the night.
