Camping adventure

 Just after Christmas, we set off on a camping adventure with our friends the Xaviers. We went to northern Botswana to a beautiful place on the river called Kasane that hosts the Chobe National Park. We camped at a lovely place called ‘Muchenje’ and then drive to Eastern Botswana to the Tuli Block and camped at Longwope Farmhouse.  Seeing the beauty of this country from its landscape, to its animals, to the people never gets old. We love Botswana 🇧🇼 

Elephant crossing signs are no joke, literally roaming everywhere up north

Hippos are rarely out of the water, just to graze normally in the evenings

Ellie and the majestic giraffe

Monkeys were a problem in Muchenje and Bradyn kept them away with the slingshot 

Really beware hippos and crocs...this place is wild

A hyena killed something not 30 yards from our tent, here is the blood spot

In Kasane, warthog are like dogs wandering around

Yikes!!

All the kiddos, such great friends

Campfire fun

Elephants literally on the road

Botswana sunsets are the best

Rhino- so blessed to see this creature in the wild as they are close to extinction. They removed this guys horns and since they grow back (I had no idea) they will remove them again in 2 years.

Pull overs on the side of the road all have this warning sign
